The word "sheep" is an example of an irregular plural in English. Unlike most nouns that form their plurals by adding an "s" or "es," "sheep" remains the same in both singular and plural forms. This peculiarity is rooted in Old English, where the word "sceap" also had the same plural form. Thus, when referring to multiple sheep, the term does not change, maintaining its original form.

The possessive form of "sheep" is "sheep's". The apostrophe is placed before the "s" to indicate that something belongs to the sheep.

There really isn't a suffix for sheep. I don't reckon that -eep or -ep is a suffix.
The word sheep is one of a handful in the English language in which the singular and plural forms are exactly the same. Sheep in plural form is just sheep. You could say "I own a sheep" and you could say, "I own a flock (a group) of sheep". You use sheep interchangeably.Examples:I found a sheep in the road.John has six sheep.The dog corralled a flock of sheep.One of my sheep got mixed in with my neighbor's sheep in his sheep pen.
