I wonder if there's a parallel universe where children are called "childs" and adults are called "adultren" (lemmy.world)

Not what you asked for, but Welsh has irregular plurals for adults and children, too:

Adult: oedolyn
Adults: oedolion

Child: plentyn
Children: plant

(Still learning, so I'm not too sure why or how)

Always knew Wales was essentially living in a different dimension... 🤔 (lol, thanks for the tidbit!)
