    Case genitive plural

    I have made for mе a time ago the following table where I haven't found up to now no mistake (no doubt there will be some particular words not included). However I have put it in a forum and a responsible has said simply: "It contains mistakes". Here is a copy with a quick translation that you will understand. Please, do you find in this table some mistakes?
    Thank you-

    Nope, the ending here is empty, and a fleeting vowel appears. Same for князей, мужей, сыновей. Phonologically it goes [druz'ja] -> [druz'j] (empty ending) and since [z'j] is impossible to say, comes the fleeting vowel. It can't be 'o' because з is soft here, so it has to be e : [druzej].
    There are few other masculine words which genitive plural ending is empty : глаз, раз, волос, сапог, солдат, words like англичанин...
