It's a shipwreck...forget where, though. Not anything special, just another destroyed human ship.

I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

Anub- damn, what IS the plural for that? Anubii? Anubises? Anubice?

Never heard of the "Ohorti ship" at all, and i've been around the universe 2 times already.

@ NukeIt , the plural for anubis is anubii, I asked a friend who is a competent english teacher.

as long as it is human I don't bother...must have found it several times ... LOL

Are you sure the plural is anubii (an-oo-bee-i) and not anubi (an oo bye)? Sure radius is radii but hippopotamus is hippopotami (close enough for a hippo). I could be mistaken, but I doubt it. Hey does that also apply for applepuss applepie?

Oooo, pretty....what do we blow up first?

"Anubi" makes no sense. "-us", not "-is", pluralizes to "-i".

"Anubii" makes absolutely no sense unless the original word is "Anubius". You can't get an "-ii" unless there's already an additional "i" in the word (as in "radius" ).

It would be "Anubes", pronounced "a new bees". This is if one insists on applying a Roman Latin pluralization rule to an Egyptian proper name used in an English context, which any linguist would tell you is silly.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with "Anubises".

With a little creative licence, I have decided that I think it's Anubi. Although Anubis is a proper noun, and there is only 1 of the original (talking about Egyptian god here), there shouldn't be more than one. Now, taking a similar word with the same ending (fungus) and the plural being -i (fungi) I, myself think that it is Anubi.

Then again, I'm an idiot.

According to the theory of evolution, I should have died a LONG time ago.

Now, taking a similar word with the same ending (fungus)

Not to nitpick or anything, but "fungus" ends in "-us" while "Anubis" ends in "-is". Not the same ending.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ohorti?? (don't remeber that in full map mode......

I'd say Anubis, apart from being the name of the Egyptian god of the afterlife with a jackals head which cannot really be plurified, is along the same lines as the words sheep, deer and to some extent fish, as fishes is also a correct plural form of the word fish.
In the case of actually altering the word to plurify it my vote goes for "a new bye", mainly because it simply sounds better the "a new buses"
