According to my Medical Terminology book, there is no broadly accepted plural of penis, since in most instances, mammals only have one. But thanks for pointing out the areolae conundrum. I'll just call 'em dangly bits and let the reader put their 50% into reading into that what they will.Picodiribibi said:Sounded like she was talking about pasties.
<snip>Anyhow, on the same note: if we're making either of these feminine nouns the subject of our sentence, we would use the nominative first declension ending "-ae" to make it plural. And for future reference, the nominative plural of "penis" is "penes"--not "peni" (or "penii"...?). You would, however, strictly speaking, use penis as the plural of penis if it were the direct object of a verb: "She liked penis," for example.
Alternately, you could just throw an "s" or an "es" at the end of any Latin word and not have to worry about it.
Okay, I'm crawling back in my hole now. Have fun with the naughty bits, people.
