Note that both English and Russian depart grammatically from their conventional forms of pluralizing nouns when it comes to human beings/ people.
English: Person -- People (as opposed to Persons).
Russian: человек -- люли (as opposed to человекы)
I would suggest it stems from a subconscious recognition as to the transformative nature of an individual's integration in to a ציבור / collective.
