Haroon 49,685 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 As we all know, in a few decades people will be travelling by Volantis, it will be the primary method of travel The problem which struck me however, what happens when you have two or more? What do you call it when you have multiple vehicles? Do you add an "es" to make it plural? Volantises? Do you get rid of the "s" like "platypus" to "platypi"? Volanti? Do you not change it at all, like "fish" stays "fish"? Volantis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmar 21,245 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Volantis looks like a 3rd declension noun in Latin (to be precise it looks like the genitive singular of volans, the present participle of volare, 'to fly'). The plural would be volantes. Those who say it should be volanti are confusing the 3rd declension with the 2nd declension. 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memo 176 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 According to the internet, the plural of "mantis" is mantises or mantes so since Volantis also ends in "tis/is" I'd say we should treat it the same. So either the 1st option or Volantes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Volanti...even before I opened the thread and saw the options it's what naturally made sense to me.
