Hi all,
I am doing some work on one of my scenarios and I was wondering what the collective terms for a group of Dragonewts.
I have come up with some but I am not happy with them. Anyone else got any other ideas?
An egg of Dragonewts.
A clutch of Dragonewts.
A weyr of Dragonewts.
A crest of scout'newts.
A claw of warrior'newts
A tail of noble'newts
A prayer of ruler'newts.
There are some common collective nouns such as a pack of Telmori or a streak of tigersons but I think that some better ones can be found.
Anyone willing to give it a go?
I have included a list of mundane collective nouns below:
A boast of soldiers, A squad of soldiers, A platoon of soldiers, A division of soldiers, A ubiquity of sparrows, A quarrel of sparrows, A host of sparrows, A clutter of spiders, A cluster of spiders, A dray of squirrels, A flight of stairs, A galaxy of stars, A murmuration of starlings, A fagot of sticks, A muster of storks, A phalanx of storks, A class of students, A flight of swallows, A gulp of swallows, A wedge of swans (flying), A whiteness of swans, A bevy of swans, A bank of swans, An eyrar of swans, A sounder of swine, A drift of swine, A pack of submarines, A set of tennis games, A battery of tests, A den of thieves, A Congress of thieves (see also whore), A bunch of things, A mutation of thrushes, A streak of tigers, An ambush of tigers, A knot of toads, etc.
Cheers,
DARRAN SIMS
