Oops. The Xayot, of course, have six "kenafayim", wings.



That's right, just like the four legs of a chair or a table are still
raglayim, while the three holidays are "regalim". Ezekiel describes the
"Xayot" as having "six karnayim" each. So, like Isaac wrote, things that
naturally come in pairs are given the dual form even if there are more of
them.
