But I have not heard of some of these words--juger, for example. Also, I cannot explain the first N in BRETHREN. Plurals … one the main banes of incorrect usage of the English Language.

Singular on the left, plural on the right… you don’t just add “s” to these words: BROTHER NBRETHREN DIE DICE GOOSEFOOT GOOSEFOOTS JUGER JUGERA LANDSMAN LANDSLEIT MGANGA WAGANGA MONGOOSE MONGOOSES NEVER-WAS NEVER-WERES ORNIS ORNIS PARIES PARIETIES PENNY PENCE PRUTAH or PRUTA PRUTOTH or PRUTOT RUBAI RUBAIYAT SHTETL SHTETLACH ULCUS ULCERA VILA VILY WOMAN WOMEN WUNDERKIND WUNDERKINDER Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Are all of these really English?
