Regular English plural of gemse, adding -s to the Germanic-derived word. 'Gemses' appears in older English texts as the plural form for these mountain animals.
Medieval Swiss and Austrian hunters used trained dogs to herd gemses off cliff edges, a hunting method so efficient (and cruel) that it nearly drove the species extinct before conservation laws were enacted in the 1800s.
