In my dialect, plural and possessive is only /s/ when adjacent to a voiceless consonant, like "cats", when adjacent to a vowel (including schwa) or a voiced consonant, it's /z/. /rOs@s/ I would interpret as something like Rossus. -- "Their bodies did not age, but they became afeared of everything and anything.
