selves halves and sailors
self + s------------ selves

sailor + s---------- sailors
To spell these words according to the given rules, we need to follow these steps:
1. If a word ends in "f" or "fe," we change the "f" or "fe" to "v" before adding "-es" to form the plural.
2. If a word does not end in "f" or "fe," we simply add "-es" to form the plural.
Now let's apply these rules to the words you provided:
1. "selt": Since "selt" does not end in "f" or "fe," we can directly add "-es" to form the plural: "seltses."
2. "half": Similarly, "half" does not end in "f" or "fe," so we can add "-es" to form the plural: "halfes."
3. "sailor": Here, "sailor" does not end in "f" or "fe," so once again, we add "-es" to form the plural: "sailores."
Therefore, the spellings according to the given rules are:
- "selt" → "seltses"
- "half" → "halfes"
- "sailor" → "sailores"
