OSPD "double plurals"

I define a "double plural" to be a sequence of three words (xx,yy,zz) where xx seems to pluralize to yy and yy seems to pluralize to zz. When this happens, either yy has two different meanings, or else some kind of linguistic mistake has been made.

This list is under construction. If you find a suitable candidate that's not in here, please let me know!
