<div class="IPBDescription">It's Plural and poessesive</div> Okay guys, we must stop the ignorance of onosos.

The possesive form of Onos is:

Onos'

The Onos' marine.

The plural of onos is both:

Onosos and Onoses

The Onosos ate the marines.
The Onoses jumped through the park.

I hope we can all learn from this.

    I regard Onos like sheep.

    You don't say "There are lots of Sheeps". It's Sheep. Just Sheep, for single or plural.

    And anyway, saying "Look at the Onoses" just sounds plain stupid. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But note, sheep is a highly irregular verb. Onos follows the same pattern as -os words.

    I think i am right in saying if more than one Onos is heading your way you cant actualy remember there name neva mind the f'in plural. Then after the incedent you can just remember a blur then you spawn or ya in the ready room.

    I care not about proper diction here as it is a made up word (I am a writer BTW).

    And you have to admit that using Onos as both single and plural is both succinct and better sounding than Onosos.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I must agree with Malice. I'm in #grammar and was saying how I thought that onos was the plural and possesive.

    Actually, I think the whole thing with "Onoses" or "Onosos" is kinda... stupid... I'd much rather have a plural form much like the way the word fish does, Fish is Fish whether its singular or plural, much like Onos would sound better as Onos when plural.

    It's just for those people typing in IRC or on the boards, not the people in games. It is correct. But that doesn't stop most people anyways!

    I just wanted to stop onosis and onosiz and oni and onii!

    Plural of Onos is simply Onos. There are plenty, and most scifi names follow this.

    cod
    deer
    fish
    offspring
    perch
    sheep
    trout
    barracks
    crossroads
    dice
    gallows
    headquarters
    means
    series

    A group can be called anything. Really up to the creators. However, I think we should steal the crows name and call it a murder of onos. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Steal not from my Crow bretheren or they shall surely swoop down and peck thy orbs of sight straight from thy skull!

    *ahem* I think a simple pack will do me.

    A flock of Lerk (my god, another plural debate shall surely ensue!)

    A pack of anything else.

    You could use herd, but it makes them sound far to docile.
