: The Birnbaum mahzor gives a singular (tikateiv v'teihateim) and a plural (tikateivu v'teihateimu) version at the end of the Evening Service for Rosh Hashanah (pg. 47).

The Rama, quoting the Tur only has "Leshanah tovah teikhaseiv". (OC 582:9)
The MA quotes the PMG and the Machatzis haSheqel that it's "teikhaseiv
vesakhaseim" (but then only on the first 3 hours of RH as per "le'alter"),
the MB (s"q 25) mentions "tikhtivei". The plural isn't even the earliest
recorded matbeia. Doesn't stop many from arguing (at least, in personal
experience, many have "corrected" me) that we should keep greetings in
the plural despite the actual context's proper grammar.

:-)BBii!
