Hey guys.
Sorry for this stupid, grammar-nazi thread, but I've noticed alot of people making this mistake. I've seen people around calling Au Ra in plural form for Auri, but that's the adjective form. To those who don't know what that means, it's when you describe something being of Au Ra origin.
For example:
"I found this Auri tome on the bookshelf."
Here's where I know this from:
"The adjectival form of Au Ra is Auri (Pronounced Ow-Ree), while the plural appears to be Au Ra."
- http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Au_Ra
Fernehalwes of the dev team have also mentioned that Auri is the adjective:
"2. Hyur is Hyuran. Lalafell is Lalafellin. What on Earth Hydaelyn is the adjectival form of Au Ra?
This one's a little special. Instead of just tacking an 'n' to the end of Ra, the term takes on a slight metamorphosis. Au Ra -> Auri (pronounced Ow-ree, rhymes with Maori). Example: "An Auri warrior can eat a whole turkey in a single sitting."

And the flavourtext as shown in the benchmark's character creation about the Au Ra, though it could be misunderstood, does indeed seem to me that it is an adjective and indeed not the plural form, as the plural is shown in the words "males and females":

And again on the Heavensward official page, showing the same flavourtext, but also for both clans, as the first words are "Auri creation", showing it as an adjective once more:

So yeah, anyways, just thought I'd point it out. I personally care alot about getting the correct grammar down, so if there's others like me out there, I hope this helps. ^^
