That's a cheap answer though. I'll try to think of a real one.

the answer is cow.
the plural has NONE of the same letters...i know, everybody is thinking of the common plural for cow (cows), but that isn't the PROPER plural...the plural is kine (old english word).

cows is 'common usage' and common usage doesn't make it correct

Damn, I wouldn't assume anyone besides a cattle rancher would know that term.
What word starting with "P" is plural and ends in "S" but becomes singular when you add another "S" to the end?
