Non-standard Plural Forms ()
Foreign and Irregular Plurals in CSW by David Sutton **** Now amended for CSW15 **** This document attempts to list all singular nouns in CSW (the official Scrabble word list) that have nine letters or fewer and that have irregular plurals; those plurals are shown together with a brief definition. Ten-letter singular nouns are included where they yield a nine-letter plural. By 'irregular plural' is meant a plural that is not formed according to the usual rules of English orthography, i.e. in one of the following ways: by the addition of –S, as in CATS by the addition of –ES, where the word ends in s, x, z, ch or sh, as in PRINCESSES, BOXES, QUARTZES, BEECHES, SASHES. Note that in the case of ch this applies only where ch has the soft sound, not the hard sound as in EPOCH or LOCH, where a simple S is added by the addition of –ES plus change of a terminal –Y to I, as in LAUNDRIES For completeness I have also included the following categories of word: words that do not change at all in the plural; these are denoted by a dash in the second column. Note that I have excluded 'collective' nouns that are normally used in the singular but which do have an –S form e.g. one would normally speak of a herd of twenty BISON, but BISONS does exist and might be used when speaking of different individuals. This is unlike MOOSE, where there is no MOOSES* words ending in –O that take a plural in –OES rather than, or in addition to, –OS words ending in –I that take a plural in –IES rather than, or in addition to, –IS words ending in –S or -Z that double the S or Z It should be noted that a great many of these nouns with irregular plurals also have regular plurals. These are not explicitly shown but their existence is denote by an asterisk in column 3. Thus ABDOMEN can be assumed to have the regular plural ABDOMENS as well as the explicitly given ABDOMINA, COLOSSUS can be assumed to yield COLOSSUSES as well as the explicitly given COLOSSI, ALBEDO can be assumed to yield ALBEDOS as well as the explicitly given ALBEDOES, and COMBI can be assumed to yield COMBIS as well as the explicitly given COMBIES. There are a large number of plural nouns that have no singular e.g. DOGDAYS, DOLDRUMS. These are not included here as they are covered in my previous work 'Plurals and apparent plurals with no singulars', also available from the ABSP Words page. I will be glad to hear of any errors of omission or commission.
