WOW necropolis, wow necropoleis or wow necroples DateTime:5/23/2012 10:37:34 AM
With the wow Scourge invasion in full swing, there are a lot of large, pyramidal structures hovering around Azeroth answering to the name of "wow necropolis." This has led to a certain amount of discussion in game and around the WoW Insider bullpen, as well as on the WoW Ladies community, on the topic of what you call more than one of them. Naturally, I had to go look it up.
Wow necropoleis or wow necropoles. The first form comes from Greek, where the word originated (literal meaning: city of the dead), and is pronounced as if it were spelled "-ase." The second form comes to us through Latin (as most of our Greek-derived words do), and is traditionally pronounced by English speakers as if it were spelled "-ese" (although in Latin it would have been pronounced as "-ase" again).wow Necropolises is also perfectly acceptable as an English-native pluralization, so don't be too hard on your fellow adventurers who just want directions to the darn things.

There are a number of words that are not a reasonable plural of "wow necropolis." Foremost among them is "wow necropoli," which arises by mistaken analogy to words like "cactus." Although the -is ending in "wow necropolis" is pronounced more or less the same (depending on your dialect of English) as the -us ending in "cactus," it does not come from the same category of Latin words, and thus does not pluralize the same way. Just say no to "wow necropoli" -- kill that urge and fight the wow Scourge.
