After annoying people with too many lemma inconsistencies, his remains were found in ...

remains or remain? This is inconsistent between EWT and GUM

EWT

# sent_id = answers-20111107144339AA0qw5S_ans-0004
# text = After a person dies, their remains are “waked ” in their home for roughly 2-3days.
7       remains remains NOUN    NNS     Number=Plur     10      nsubj:pass      10:nsubj:pass   _

GUM

# sent_id = GUM_bio_gordon-29
# text = Originally buried in the Foreign Quarter, his remains were reinterred at Azov in 1877, with an inscription in German which mistakenly gives his rank as Oberst, Colonel.
9       remains remain  NOUN    NNS     Number=Plur     11      nsubj:pass      11:nsubj:pass   Entity=128)|MSeg=remain-s

Wiktionary defines this as plural only (with the singular form being rare and not applicable to human remains), so is would be Number=Ptan for the plurale tantum form instead of Number=Plur and the lemma would be "remains".

Yes, I'm fine with remains -> remains as the lemma. Will fix in GUM.
