Plural of breve; multiple curved marks indicating short vowels, or multiple musical notes of short duration.
Simple plural of 'breve' (from Latin 'brevis'), maintaining the Latin-derived form used in both linguistic and musical contexts.
Unlike most English plurals that add '-es,' 'breves' keeps its Latin ending because it's a technical term borrowed directly from the scholarly language of music and linguistics.
