Trevelyan · November 2003

I call onos: cow/s, onos, oni, fat basturds (Get in meh bellah!), meatshield, newbie, noob, nublet, res ****, 2 hives we could have used, big boy, ninja onos, pirate bluebeard.

On a side note...

I call gorges: Gorge/s, gorgie/s, kitties, kats, fattah, cute, happy gorge, sad gorgie, pet, yummy, soft and fuzzy, ninja gorge, and the only person building stuff besides me.

Hmm, I always assumed it was Onii (close enough to Oni) because that *would* be the plural form of Onos in Latin... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'> I'm a geek, so I'll shut up now.

I swear by onos. Oni implies demon in jap, and neither 'demon' or japanese things are related to NS in any way.

It has been a few years but I think that in latin, the -os turning into a -i happens in the second declention, plural ablative form. I may be wrong about that though...too lazy to go look it up right now...  </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> 

Second declension ablative plural is -is.

-os isn't a singular ending in Latin though. It's a second declension accusative plural ending, so having any kind of Latin-style plural for Onos doesn't make much sense.

Seeing as how Onos is derived from "oh no" in English, wouldn't it make more sense for Ono to be singular, and Onos to be the plural? Either that or just make the plural Onoses.

It's Oni, as said in the 1 page, case closed.

Nemesis_Zero · November 2003

As much as I hate to support one of Jez' statements, Flayra uses the term 'Oni'. It's thus what I consider the 'official' form.

Shazbot · November 2003

Oni it is!

Catpoker · November 2003

Flayra once said oni long ago... so yeah..

You right!
Root -> On-
Singular:
<ul>
On-us
On-i
On-o
On-um
On-o

</ul>

Plural:
<ul>
On-i
On-orum
On-is
On-os
On-is

</ul>

If we used latin, it would have to be "Onus" for 1 of them and "Oni" for multiples...depending on word use...

I use Oni or Onii (when typing)
And as for Oni having nothing to do with NS.
You telling me that if you had never seen an Oh-no before you wouldn't think this huge cow isn't a demon?

ONI

Single Onos = onos.

Plural = Cement trucks driving through your living room

QwertyMcDunkin · November 2003

I believe the correct term to be Onos. Just like you would say, "Hey look at that deer," and "Hey look at those deer." You would do the same by saying, "Holy **** an onos," and "Holy **** look at all those onos!" But what are a pack of onos called? A pack of skulks are bobs so shall we call a pack of onos bills?

Mazer · November 2003

I like the word oni, but I usually say onos
What would you call a group of onos?

herd, pace, drove, sloth, seuth, yoke?

Immacolata · November 2003

It's onos, and onos in plural or onoses if we're talking english. Free us from pseudo-greek! In any case, if Flayra decides they are called "oni" I guess thats his creative liberty <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I like a "Riot of Oni", it has a nice quality to it.

Sure you've got it in the right order there? The standard is N/V/Acc/G/D/Abl

Thus:

On<b>us</b>
On<b>e</b> (This sounds ridiculous but trust me)
On<b>um</b>
On<b>i</b>
On<b>o</b>
On<b>o</b>

On<b>i</b>
On<b>i</b>
On<b>os</b>
On<b>orum</b>
On<b>is</b>
On<b>is</b>

Well, the people saying it's Oni are going with the schoolyard reasoning of "because Flayra said so! neener!", while a lot of people have given good reasons for it to <i>not</i> be "Oni".

And just why would multiple Onos use "Oni" when Oni in Japanese, I believe, is singular? It makes no sense.

Lightning_Blue · November 2003

I, myself, use Onos. One onos, three onos <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
