глаз

Russian

Inherited from Old East Slavic глазъ (glazŭ, “ball, eye”), from Proto-Slavic *glazъ (“ball”), from Proto-Indo-European *g(ʰ)el- (“round, spherical, stone”).

глаз • (glaz) m inan (genitive гла́за, nominative plural глаза́, genitive plural глаз, relational adjective глазно́й, diminutive глазёнки or гла́зик or глазо́к, augmentative глази́ще)

Note on irregular forms — глаза́ (glazá) is actually an old nominative dual form. The genitive plural in глаз (glaz) is also an archaic form.
