What it means
Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and gases is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is gas — the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by: relatively low density and viscosity; relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature; the ability to diffuse readily; and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container. The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.
