(Not to mention that occasionally you can find the apostrophe after some s-sound which is not written with s, like -x or -ce.)

You may also find a lone ranger apostrophe at the end of words ending in 'z' and 'x' -- as in "
...and in the kibbutz' fields grew cucumbers and tomatoes" or "

Probably more often seen in older non-US/Canada publications.
