Correct answer: Oxen
MissMochaLatte
I didn't realize there were only three words using en as plural. Great idea for next trivia match!

Great job Steve Grant. I did not know about the castration aspect of the ox or oxen.

I love a good question about proper english, which takes quite a beating in today's world.

"Oly oly oxen free"
Rainette
Why english is so hard?
We’ll start with a box,
And the plural is boxes.
But the plural of ox
Should be oxen not oxes.

MissMochaLatte, I would suggest that that women is the plural of woman and that makes a fourth.
Player #16491307
Player #5166889, If u count women, then what about man to men?
beckers84
sure get to know a lot on this game
mojo jojo
Jolene.carthy, I thought of that too. As is 'men' but then these are a change from man to men, which is a change of an to en and not an added EN on the singular word.

When I think of the pain animals are made to endure in this cruel world, I literally get sick to the stomach.

-en for plural is the standard in Dutch. 1 schoen, 2 schoenEN. shoe->shoes

Player #19370, that is why I love this game. You are always learning something new.
gostbuster
Player #16491307, you know I bet they didn't think about that good for you guys
gostbuster
Player #5166889, good for you!
gostbuster
The Epic One, now that would be a good question where did that slang come from

MissMochaLatte, there’s technically four but some say three children, oxen, n then the forms for brother and sister can be considered as one I’m guessing but to me it two brethren and sistren. I do want to say thank you so much for bringing more knowledge into my mind for this I did not know about at all. I also agree with you awesome trivia question!

joey, I watched a video of a chef making ox tail soup recently, but I haven’t tried it. Looked delicious.

Rainette, Very pretty name. Does anyone raise oxen now-a-days?

Again my mom taught me English before I could walk and I am forever in her debt

These are the type of questions and explanations I crave for. Great job Steve!

Wow this was so interesting to learn about the use of the -en & how it is only used for 3 words… Thanks for sharing this!!
JJ
love oxtail. they are expensive and hard to find though
Duchess
I was taught that oxen are a different species within the family of animals. buffalo oxen, cattle are only three of this family but in other parts of the world there are others that are similar and in the same family.
khyati sheth
it was really a bit hard but also something new to me to learn this game is the teacher .
Lady butterfly
I didn’t write Rainwater , I wrote Rainette! Darn spell check
Lady butterfly
Rainwater, English is comprised from many other languages most of which follow different rules so it gets complicated
Lady butterfly
JimmyLovesQL, I couldn’t agree with you more

Player #5166889, the basic form has changed rather than just the addition of an ending.
