Hello,

This topic has been discussed elsewhere, and quite unintentionally here: http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=63646

So perhaps as Forum Members, we chuck in our suggestions as to what the plural of 'Kronos' should be, put all ideas into a poll and agree on the most popular choice??? Seems democratic and fair Laughing

If possible, could you make your suggestion bold, big, or in a different colour, so it doesn't get missed?

My suggestion for what it's worth:

Kron-i

Cheers.
iix.

As I said elsewhere, the only correct plural for an old greek word with -os ending would be -oi, so Kronoi. On the other hand, a plural of the original term doesn't make much sense (if you think of the greek god name or of abstract time).

Of course you can call it like you want.
Kroni doesn't sound bad, and it is short, so why not.

Kronos is a name and should be kept as is.
So it is
one Kronos Workstation
two or more Kronos Workstations

We also do not have a plural of the name OASYS, do we?

Just my 2 cents!

I'd say Kronii, double -ii indicating length.

Just as the plural for deer is deer, so too should the plural of KRONOS be KRONOS.

How about Kronoseses? Or if you have lots and lots of them it can be Kronoseseses.

Kronos is also a noun, a proper noun.*

* A proper noun or proper name is a noun representing unique entities (such as London, Jupiter, Larry, or Toyota), as distinguished from common nouns which describe a class of entities (such as city, planet, person or car).

I agree too.
One Kronos,
many Kronos.
But we can't really decide. It's not possible. Languages are like live beings: they go where they want.
