Inconsistent pluralization in Nahuatl-borrowed words

[Shibi]

Macuahuitl isn't a loanword. It refers to a particular Aztec weapon design using the original tongue, so the -meħ suffix is correct. You see the same treatment with the Dharug language word Woomera to describe a particular spear thrower having the native language plural form.

Axolotl is a loanword. The correct plural for the loanword is with English rules, in this case a -s suffix. Other Nahuatl loanwords like Chilli and tomato follow the same English rules.

I said that?

axolotls for the Nahuatl-borrowed axolotl is as correct as octopuses for the Greek-borrowed octopus

Still, octopodes would have a word with you.

I literally said it isn't wrong; but it's inconsistent with what the localization team has done with other words in the same boat.

I'd rather them change octopodes to octopuses. But there is no sense in just making the issue worse, by replacing Axolotls with the English-incorrect Axolotlmeħ.
