Examples:
| Singular | Plural | |
| ear | אוזן | אוזניים |
| ozen | oznayim | |
| eye | עין | עניים |
| ayin | enayim | |
| tooth | שין | שיניים |
| shen | shinayim | |
| leg | רגל | רגליים |
| regel | raglayim |
| Singular | Plural | |
| breast | שד | שדיים |

| safah | sfatayim | |
| hip | מותן | מותניים |
| m moten | motnayim | |
| knee | ברך | ברכיים |
| berech | berkayim |
Also certain objects form a dual-plural, but their gender is mostly male.
| bycicle | אופניים |
| ofanayim | |
| hotplate (stove) | כיריים |
| kirayim | |
| crutches | קביים |
| kabayim |
| brackets | סוגריים |
| sograyim | |
| scissors | מספריים |
| misparayim | |
| pincers | מלקחיים |
| melkachayim |
Why the word hotplates is a dual? Probably, because in pioneer times stoves had only two hotplates. Bye the way: The dual form exists similarly also in Arabic: eg. Bahrain (spoken bachrayn) means two seas, from al bachr, the sea.
Also, there are dual forms in notions of time.
