Talk:Tasoth

Nomenclature

Like I said over in the Sectoid discussion page, I'm doing a personal project and wondering about the origins of the alien names. Most are self-explanatory, but I can't find anything about a 'Tasoth' that doesn't relate to TFTD. The suffix -oth seems to mean something in H.P. Lovecraft's fictional language ('a native of'), but I can't find anything about 'tas.' Maybe it just means they're the natives of a planet/realm/other called Tas?

Plural

Is there any evidence either way about whether the plural of Tasoth is "Tasoth" or "Tasoths"? If not, what's the plural of Shoggoth in Lovecraft's work? Magic9mushroom (talk) 21:15, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

I know Wikipedia's not the be-all and end-all of knowledge, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoggoth does have Shoggoths as a plural.

For Tasoth though, I am guessing the last line in the live entry seems to suggest Tasoth is the plural. We would normally add an s when we pluralize the rank. Tasoth Soldiers and Tasoth Squad Leaders for example. The only time you'd stick s on the end is with an apostrophe to indicate possession. NKF (talk) 01:54, 4 May 2015 (EDT)
