I'm no sure if this is where the name originated, (i think it is) but, Onus = Oh no's... So by that standard, you wouldn't do anything to it, because multiple onus are still lots of Oh No's...
But Talesin puts fortha good point, If there are multiple Onos, they will defientely own "one", so Onii (Own-I) is appropriate.
I voted for the second, and it is seriously amazing how close this vote is.

sorry, first of all, i was not actulaly drunk, that was merely what a certain const member named lyndak ( a bit of a tool really) told Flayra this.
This poll is to determine what people say when they see an onos. simple.
how can anyone with any amount of intelligence possibly say that Flayra made this post because someone made him. Its very simple you see. I rang him, i asked him what was the plural. He said ''Oni''. I said ''no, its onos''.
we debated for a moment.
I asked him to make a poll, he agreed. simple as that. I doubt anyone could make Flayra do what he didnt want to do.

Firstly. we are not talking about the correct linguistical solution, so that blows away all the people who have been pulling out their dictionarys from their handy holsters and renders their statements null and void.
Secondly. Perhaps Flayra wants to find out what the public say so he can correct himself? He may be immortal, but even gods make mistakes.
So keep to the question, if you guys were writing english essays for exams, you would lose marks for going off the point, or being too vague. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Oni, since in Latin, the masculine plural ending is i. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
For the record, when I say oni I mean "oh nigh" not "oh knee" as the former has a close resemblance to many plurals in English.
I have no idea where the oh-knee thing came from since it doesn't sound like any English words at all.
I also pronounce onos as "oh knoss" rather than "oh noes"; in my experience, most English players follow suit.
We don't have this problem with other kharaa (="car are?") names since they are all English words (except for lerk, which is phonetically identical to lurk).

Wow, that really is sketchy, it's constantly at a difference of 4.
You have to admit, it does seem to be awfully close, considering how many people who posted here were for the onos and how many were for oni.
