It's 'tulpas', not 'tulpae'

[Graywolf]

I voted "tulpas", but I use it just as much as I use "tulpae".

Tulpa-tsho

[Citizen Anon]

I naturally find myself typing tulpas, but tulpae is good too. Just 'tulpa' would be too confusing with distinction between singular and plural though, and tulpi makes them sound kinda fruity

[ThatOneGuy]

I go by tulpae just to be proper, even though I don't pronounce it correctly, I think. I pronounce it 'tulp-a'.

[tulpatalk]

just to be proper

 

How is it proper? And aren't you the one saying stuff about fluff? Wouldn't using a weird and nonconventional way of pluralizing be fluffy?

[ThatOneGuy]

I don't see it as fluffy, really. But then I've always known the plural form of the word as tulpae so it doesn't seem strange to me in the slightest.

[Avalanche]

Tulpae is how I have always called it and how I see it being called most often. Why change most people's way of pluralising it? Stick to the most used.

[Lyranon]

Tulpa, because i'm radical like that.

[BrassAndBeauty]

I liked tulpae until I found out it would be pronounced tulpee.

 

Is it really pronounced that way? I thought æ was pronounced ay like hay. Ted Mosby taught me that.

ae as in Tulpae is pronounced Tull-pay, not Tull-pee.

 

Same goes for hyphae and antennae.
