Plural is influenced by the 3d third-declension. From -α, accusative singular of most 3d third-declension nouns. Reanalyzed as the accusative singular of the 1d first-declension, which after the loss of final ν is identical. These nouns kept their original plurals, and became the same as former first declension nouns. Later for some of these the original singular genitive got brought back from Ancient Greek due to Katharevousa, but is rarely used.
