/ɑrˈɡɑːliz/ noun

Definition

Plural of argali; multiple wild mountain sheep of Central and East Asia.

Etymology

The English plural of 'argali,' formed by adding '-s' to the Mongolic word that was borrowed into English as a zoological term.

Kelly Says

Argalis represent some of the hardest-to-find and hardest-to-hunt animals on Earth—they live in some of the world's most remote mountains, so plural references to them are actually quite rare in English literature.
