  • rolig Octopuses, hippopotamuses and rhinoceroses are all fine by me. I also like the fact that the last of these makes a sight rhyme with noses and roses. (I love sight rhymes.) Aug 15, 2008

  • milosrdenstvi Pous being a type-3 Greek noun, the plural is podes, in two syllables. This is a rare form; more commonly, as in hippopotamus, the plural will take the form hippopotamoi. Rhinoceros becomes rhinocera (although that also is irregular, as it ought to be rhinocerata). Aug 14, 2008

  • linguista88 Haha.. My professor taught us this word in Latin class :) Sep 18, 2007

  • stpeter Gotta love those plurals from Greek (the plural is very much not octopi!). Oh and it's pronounced okk-TOP-oh-deez. Jeez. :) May 11, 2007
