Argalas

/ɑrˈɡɑːləz/ noun

Definition

Plural of argala; multiple adjutant storks.

Etymology

From Hindi 'argalā,' the plural form in English simply adds '-s' to the singular noun, following standard English pluralization conventions for borrowed words.

Kelly Says

When English borrowed 'argala' from Hindi, we just added our regular '-s' ending without worrying about Hindi's own plural system—this is how English has always absorbed and simplified words from other languages.
