Crawfoots

/ˈkrɔːfʊts/ noun

Definition

Plural of crawfoot; multiple feet or legs of crawfish, or a dialect plural form.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'crawfoot' using the standard '-s' suffix, though its rarity suggests it may have been dialectal or archaic.

Kelly Says

Old English and dialect plurals reveal regional pride—different communities insisted on their own names for creature parts, and some plurals like 'crawfoots' never made it into standard English.
