6General reference - there are many "different syntaxes", but only one plural form for the word itself.– FumbleFingersCommented Apr 24, 2012 at 22:19

5Related: Which style of Latin plurals should I use? I'd like to specifically quote this passage: "Unless you are absolutely, completely sure you know the correct classical plural, use the English plural. Using the classical plural may have a nice ring to it, but if you get it wrong it's so, so wrong."– RegDwigнtCommented Apr 24, 2012 at 23:33

2Oh, and closing this as general reference because you can just look it up in a dictionary.– RegDwigнtCommented Apr 25, 2012 at 8:46

3@RegDwigнt: Neither Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, the OED or the ODO specify any plural for this word, so Wiktionary is quite alone in that trait.– SarahofGaiaCommented Jul 15, 2015 at 19:58

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
