| Aug 8, 2013 at 3:14 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | The customary rules of forming plurals of an English word sare not suspended just because it should happen to be the name of a Greek letter. More than one alpha would be several alphas. More than one omega would be several omegas. I’m sure you can fill in the rest. :) And sigmata will just get you talked about. (:-! | |
