Question

What is the collective noun for pegasi? I know for a fact that the plural noun is pegasi but what is the collective noun?

Answer 1

Hint: In linguistics, a collective noun is a word that refers to a group of entities as a whole. The majority of collective nouns in ordinary speech are not limited to one type of thing, such as the word "group," which can refer to people, dogs, or other objects.

Complete answer:
Pegasus was a one-of-a-kind god-like creature whose father was Poseidon, the god of the waves, according to Greek mythology. When writers presented the idea of the pegasus as a sort of mythological creature in more recent periods, they still tended to appear in small groups rather than in large groups.
As a result, there isn't a conventional term for this.This brings us to the topic of what a group of pegasi might be called.

There are a couple different approaches you might take with this:
A word like "herd" could be used to emphasise the pegasi's horse-like characteristics.

A word like "flock" could be used to emphasise the pegasi's bird-like characteristics. A group of unicorns, probably more horse-like than pegasi, is referred to as a "blessing." As a result, a period could be guided by a focus on a particular component of pegasi. When I think about Pegasus, one of the first things that springs to mind is his nobility, thus possibly "a nobility of pegasi."

 Finally, if there isn't a conventional phrase, you can invent one.You'll be alright as long as you use it with conviction and make it clear that the term refers to a group of pegasi.

Word:	Pegasi
Collective noun:	herd, flock

Note: While working with collective nouns keep in check that:
- Unless pluralized, collective nouns are handled as singular nouns.
- Plural collective nouns utilise plural verbs and pronouns, whereas singular collective nouns use singular verbs and pronouns.
- Collective nouns are everyday terms that we see and use.
