The plural form of coccyx, referring to multiple coccyx bones or instances of tailbones.
From Greek 'kokkyx' (cuckoo bird) with the Greek plural ending '-es'. This is the traditional Latin/Greek plural form used in medical and anatomical contexts.
Most people just say 'coccyxes' in English, but scientists love using 'coccyges' because it preserves the fancy Greek plural—it's like they're saying 'we studied this in ancient texts and we're keeping it authentic!'
