> At this rate, the matter should be settled before the Cycle > changes, I nearly think. I think we can assign a tenative matrix to this as follows: Singular: Plural: Phoenix Phoenix (possible alternate form: Phoenixes, only because this is *our* plural form) Dragon Dragons Lyorn Lyorn (possible alternate form: Lyorns, cited once, likely a typo) Tiassa Tiassa Hawk Hawks Dzur Dzur Issola Issola (possible alternate form: Issolas, cited once, possibly a typo) Tsalmoth Tsalmoth Vallista Vallista Jhereg Jhereg (possible alternate form: Jheregs, cited once, likely a typo) Iorich Iorich Chreotha Chreotha (possible alternate form: Chreothas, cited once, likely a typo) Yendi Yendi Orca Orca (possible alternate form: Orcas, multiple citations, plus this is *our* plural form) Teckla Teckla Jhegaala Jhegaala Athyra Athyra Of course, having made all these determinations, I'm sure Steve will just deliberately write them all the other way from now on.
