One fish, two fish. One illithid, two illithid. The jury is out on the plural form of Kuo-Toa. Anyone know for sure?

Kuo-Ti? =p Platypus, Platipodi... don't ever let anyone tell you that it's platypuses, because that is strictly not true.

Same with cactus/cacti, rhinocerus/rhinoceri, and radius/radii...

PLural of Kua-Toa is Kuo-Tua. Just like Illithid, and sheep.
However, you CAN have one fish, many fish; or one fish, many fishes. Fish implies creatures, fishes implies species. Some whiting and baramundi in the same tank (a feat in itself ) could be described as fishes; whereas two carp would be two fish. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Also, in the other thread to do with this, someone mentioned Samarai and Ninja to be in the same category as sheep, Illithid, and Kuo-Tua... Samarai is; Ninja is strictly "Ninjas" for plural. [img]smile.gif[/img]

By my reckoning;
1 Illithid, 2 Illithii
1 Kuo Toa, 2 Kuo Toae
