Its singular is 'dūdah'; 'dūdah' is one, 'dūd' is many, then 'dūdān' is a plural. The plural of 'dūd' is 'dīdān', and the diminutive is 'duwayd', and its standard form is 'duwaydah'.

قال ابن بري: قاله الجوهري وهو وهم منه وقياسه دويد كما صغرته العرب، لأنه جنس بمنزلة تمر وقمح جمع تمرة وقمحة فكما تقول في تصغيرهما تمير وقميح كذلك تقول في تصغير دود دويد

Ibn al-Barrī said: Al-Jawharī said this, and it is an error on his part. Its standard form is 'duwayd', as the Arabs have diminutized it, because it is a category like 'tamr' and 'qamḥ', the plural of 'tamrah' and 'qamḥah'. Just as you say for their diminutives 'tumayr' and 'qumayḥ', so you say for the diminutive of 'dūd', 'duwayd'.
