If the plural of goose is geese then is the plural moose meese?
Goose is from the Germanic root, and its plural was adopted into Old English as "geese". This is an abnormal plural.Moose is of Algonquin (Amerindian) origin and has a plural of "moose".(The listing in the Urban Dictionary is obviously intended as humor.)The word "moose" came to us from Algonquian Indians. Consequently its plural, instead of being "mooses" or "meese", is the same as the singular "moose." That is true of most Indian names whether of a tribe, such as the Winnebago and Potawatomi, or of an object such as papoose. It is also true of many wildlife names not of Indian origin -- for example: deer, mink and grouse.
