What is the plural or Exquorirrioreeer?

What is the plural of the Augororororr?

Nemesii? Nemesisis? Nemesises? Nemminomnoms?

Is it a group of Stabber fleet issues? Is that a fleet of ships.. or a concentrated outbreak of fleet problems?

Naval issue, or navel issues?

Why don't we have a Fed Navy Thorax when the Amarr got the Omen Navy issue?

Why cant people believe that its not butter?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Navitas is a third-declension plural... therefore Navitatēs

Plural of Navitas is Navitas. Same as plural of Fish is Fish...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Kind of sounds to me like one of those words that doesn't change.

1 Navitas
50 Navitas

7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided. --Eve New Player Guide

Navi?

Example:

"I lost a Navitas this morning when PL hot-dropped me. I've lost six Navi this week to them, alone."

Rule #1 of classical plurals: if you think it will end in -ii, it won't.

Also, its navitates (or at best navitas, if its already the plural form of [doing something with] the sailors).

Navitas, singular, femininum; consonantic deklination. Plural Nominativum: Navitates or Navitatis.

Someone should create a massive list of how to pronounce the plurals of every ship in the game. Then get someone to put that list somewhere (Eve wiki?) where it won't disappear.

That's a pretty neat list of all the names and origins. Pitty that the Minmatar ship name origins don't include those of African gods, goddesses or dieties.
