Hello
These collections probably exist in the everyday spoken slanguage, and as
classified, regional dialect words. The proper terms exists in proper
Arabic writing. Its always been the case in all languages that new objects
introduced would be either translated to a proper form, or kept its
structure while applying the linguistic base to form the plural, like the
example of pluralizing, film=aflaam & balloon=balaliin or balloonat, using
the speakers' most familiar scale to pluralize nouns.
All the best,

كنبة - كنب
اريال - ارايل
اوضة - اوض
بالطو - بلاطي

فلل meaning 'villas', presumably pronounced /vilal/ or /filal/, is very
common -- ten million hits in Google.
