anchovies, bevies, civvies, envies, gravies, heavies, ivies, levies, movies, navies, navvies, privies, savvies, skivvies.

"Savvies" is borderline. "Savvy" can be a noun, adjective, or verb. As a verb, its third person singular form in the present tense would be "savvies": "Does he savvy what we're saying? Yes, he savvies." That's singular. As a noun, it's usually a mass noun like "gold" or "sugar", meaning that you would rarely use it in the plural at all. But you could say "She's got the savvies to survive in the cutthroat fashion world," kind of like "She's got the smarts ...." "Envies" is subject to the same objection as "savvies".

The dictionary says that "Skivvies" (underwear) is a trademark, but there's also a British slang term for a female servant, "skivvy".

All of the Words mentioned are plurals of nouns that end in "-vy" except "movies".
