Ghiblis

/ˈɡɪbliːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of ghibli; multiple instances or occurrences of the hot desert wind.

Etymology

From ghibli plus the standard English plural suffix -s. Though ghibli is typically used as a mass noun referring to the wind phenomenon generally.

Kelly Says

It's interesting that we pluralize wind names—while 'ghiblis' is grammatically correct, meteorologists rarely use it, preferring to talk about 'ghibli events' or 'ghibli conditions' to describe when the wind strikes.
