medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture ? The choice between an attested plural in a loan word's own language and the general English-language plural in '-s' strikes me as a matter of personal style and comfort, plus of course of one's sense of one's audience. _En famille_, I use 'nasturtia' as an English-language plural of 'nasturtium'. But in a garden club that usage might only cause puzzlement and annoyance. Mastershalms is our plural of choice for the latter.
