So if anyone changes Wiktionary, whatever they change it to is correct.

"'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you.'"

You can try changing it to include tulpaeis and see what will happen.

It's weird because out loud both Tulpas and Tulpae sound dumb. I vote for Tulpa to be it's own plural. Though, I just now said that aloud and it sounded dumb as well....

Shit, nothing sounds good.

Tulpa: Adryan Form: Anthro wolf-ish Stage: *sighs loudly*

Age: Looks 17, is actually 1 1/2

Personally i prefer tulpae, but thats just me

 

Also, am i the only one who finds it so fucking stupid how everyone flips out over the plural of one word

i am forever banned from drinking orange juice because my tulpa hates it with a burning passion

 

If by everyone flips out you mean discussing correct English grammar in a community that made up a nonsense plural for something that already had a plural in English, sure.

 

I wish someone had some logs as proof of "tulpae" being made just to see how gullible people could be and use a made-up word just because someone told them to, like the rumor I've heard goes. That would be funny.

I picked both with same meanings, but with what people stated here already, I guess I'm just one of those who never took the liberty to pronounce "tulpae" to myself. I checked on some pronunciation online sites and found words that would trail onto the word for tulape.

 

http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=vulvae&submit=Submit hover over the word "Vulvae" and you'll hear it sound like 'Vul' - 'vye' or 'Vul' - 'vee'

 

Compare that to 'Tulpae' and it sounds like 'tul - pie' (inb4 pewdiepie). I tried entering 'tulpa,' no result for that, even though that's a no brainer.

 

But this site [click here] makes tulpae sound like 'tool pei.' Tulpae, at least with how its pronounced in many accents and voices from that same link with oddcast.com sounds weird. Hnnnngh. I don't know, to save face, tulpa or tulpas.

 

 

Also, for 'tulpaeis' when it's typed on the oddcast.com link I posted above with other voices than Julie's (US), Top lel. Sounds like they're slobbering just saying it.

Best plural is tupperware.

I'll go with that, Sands.
