Aouads

/ˈaʊ.ɑdz/ noun

Definition

Plural of aouad; multiple members of the Aouad people or speakers of their language.

Etymology

Standard English plural formation by adding -s to the singular noun aouad, following the same ethnographic naming conventions used throughout colonial and postcolonial anthropology.

Kelly Says

The plural form reflects how English absorbed ethnographic terms from colonial encounters, often simplifying complex indigenous identities into countable categories—a practice modern anthropologists now recognize as reductive.
