Wiktionary says
In the original result of the Wug Test, children consistently produced wugs for the plural. However, plurals other than the standard wugs are sometimes used humorously, including wuggen (by analogy with oxen), weeg, and wuggi (by analogy with Latinate plurals).
Wuggi sounds nice. Huggy wuggi :3
Wugopodes
That's Greek to me
:3c
Wuggingtons
Wuggi is the first thing that came to muh brain
My immediate thought was wug, like the plural of fish is fish.
Unless you're sleeping with them. Then it's fishes.
It's when there are multiple species of fish. Mob guys are actually saying it correctly, as there are likely multiple types in the ocean when they lay people to rest there.
Or when they are weird
I thought the plural of fish was "wet guys"
This test screwed me up in first grade. I thought it was some kind of grammar test so I kept asking if it was a verb, a noun, or an adverb. The test giver was some researcher and was convinced I wasn't taking the test seriously because I wouldn't say wugs. He got kind of angry and I found the whole thing to be kind of distressing. I asked to stop and he just got even angrier and said something like, "No one has ever had trouble with the wug test before". I was convinced I was bad at grammar for years after that. Anyway, wugs! =)
Sounds like somebody was bad at giving out tests
I mean, that could have been it, but it seemed like everyone else got through unscathed. I was older than average, I was 7 and the rest of the kids were 6. I think that was his explanation anyway.
Based on the sentence construction it has to be a noun regardless of the meaning tho
Of them
Wugs, if its an Anglo root, unless it's derived from Latin "Wug*, wugīs" in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye). Unless its one of the random Latin words where we don't do that and it's still "wugs." Unless it's a loanword from germanic then we might anglicise it or we might say "wugar." Because eNgLIsH iS EaSY...
Ooh sorry this is a weird one it’s actually “wugopodes”
unless it’s derived from Latin “Wug*, wugīs” in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye).
Wouldn't a wug, wugis group noun be wuges plural?
My daughter does the opposite in such an intelligent way. Kix cereal for example - one piece of it is a kik. And the singular for clothes is a cloe.
And the singular of sheep is shoop.
YES IT IS SHUT UP
Brings new meaning to the Salt-N-Pepa song.
Wüge
This feels like a word that would be both singular and plural. Like sheep.
Two wug.
Only if the amount of wug is a prime number.
This is because non-prime numers of wuggi are highly unstable and will split into separate prime factors of wug if there's enough space (and in most atmospheric conditions).
I don't get it.

Gleason devised the Wug Test as part of her earliest research (1958), which used nonsense words to gauge children's acquisition of morphological rules—for example, the "default" rule that most English plurals are formed by adding an /s/, /z/, or /ɪz/ sound depending on the final consonant, e.g. hat–hats, eye–eyes, witch–witches. A child is shown simple pictures of a fanciful creature or activity, with a nonsense name, and prompted to complete a statement about it
Wugaux
Wugopodes
Wuggas
Wuggies
wuggies
Is this the r/linguistics logo bird
Yeah its a pretty famous demonstration of the fact that we learn grammar seperately from individual words. IE most people add s to the end because thats what we normally do when we have a plural, even though we dont know what a wug is
A group of wugs are a wiggle. A wiggle of wugs.
There are two plimben
Weese
OMG I just learned that there are also bik, kazh, and gutch.

Wugim is biblically correct.
