Description

Curious as I got the singular_noun of "grass" as "gras". I am on python 3.11

`import inflect
p = inflect.engine()
p.singular_noun("grass") # 'gras'`

edit: 'glass,underpass' as well. may be if a word is ending with 'ss' singular_noun might not work.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the singular_noun examples for “grass”, “glass”, and “underpass” with Python 3.11. Trace the singular_noun entry point and the pluralization rules it uses, then confirm that these words return the expected singular form without changing other cases.
