Not a good example.  Talles is not really feminine, since it's a fairly
recently borrowing from Greek.  The vowel under the lamed is not a chirik
but a tzereh; Ben Yehuda changed it to a chirik, and thus made it appear
like a regular feminine Hebrew noun, but this was his own invention, and
it's no surprise that people who'd been saying "talles koton" for centuries
before him would not change their usage to accommodate his whim.
