To expand on that … the same thing didn’t pan out for the word ‘goose’ … the english plural being ‘geese’ … because ‘goose’ is an old indo-european word that has thousands of years of history
We call a Canada Goose … niska
and the plural to niska is … niskuk
btw … I really love this community, it’s completely stupid, off the wall and a breath of fresh air in a wilderness of chaos and hatred … I grew up in a traditional Native family and my dad was a hunter and trapper who spoke only Ojibwe-Cree … he saw how interested and excited I was to watch Star Trek TNG in the 90s and said he was amazed that people were able to travel through space like that … I had to tell him that it was all a made up show and it wasn’t real. It may have burst my bubble but it also made me realize just how great the show and acting was.
