View Point of the Submitter:
Many Greek-derived words carry
their Greek plurals into English: DOGMA/DOGMATA, SCHEMA/SCHEMATA,
AUTOMATON/AUTOMATA, etc.
The following are the -MATA words. Not all of these follow the
pattern above; they simply end in -MATA. The words are
broken by hyphens according to where you can backhook to an existing
word, e.g. LI, LIP, LIPOMA, LIPOMATA.
