It's not subject to vote, though  This is latin, and latin has rules, like any other language.

 

Exceptions say hi. The plural of arthritis is arthritides. 

 

The vote should've been Volantes vs Volantides though (yet neither is there  ).

Sorry I didn't really think of either, I just put down the three that I'd heard most on the forum and left an "Other" option for any other thoughts

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.

 

Came here to go all latin plurals on them but ofc u were first

 

It could be Volanti if the singular form was Volantus.

Of course it was me.

The exception is that arthritis is the surface realization of an underlying *arthritid. Latin does not like /d/ in coda position in a word and thus changed it to /s/. 

Because volantis is etymologically the genitive singular of an active participle (vol-a-nt-), *volantides would make less sense. Coincidentally, *volant was realized as volans. (I'm guessing 'volant' would mean they fly.)

Volanti or Volantis.

ur knowledge is impressive

ur knowledge is impressive

 

Thank you. 

[Truth 90]

Volanti.

I agree with Volantes? I think I remember being taught that words ending in -is change to -es in the plural. For example, the plural of crisis is crises. The plural of axis is axes.

 

So I'll go with Volantes
