What is the plural of inlaid?

The word "inlaid" is already in the past participle form of the verb "inlay". It describes something that has been inlaid, meaning that decorative materials have been inserted into a surface.

There is no plural form for "inlaid" because it describes a state or condition, not a countable object.

For example:

* Incorrect: "The table had many inlaids."

* Correct: "The table had many inlaid designs."

To refer to multiple inlaid objects, you would say something like:

* "The table had many inlaid pieces of wood."

* "The cabinet featured several inlaid panels."
