What the description of Sphacteria has to tell us
#55
Giannis, Something that many of us who speak english do is simply adopt the singular form of the greek, such as Aspis or Porpax, into english as a loan-word. Then when we pluralize it we simply follw the english rule, so Aspises and Porpaxes. I don't know if this remotely acceptable grammatically, but it is clear to english speakers.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
