I think this is just a myth.

Also, some people think there are two Waks.

From Wikipedia: “In Arabic, the word jinn is plural; jinnÄ« is the singular (and adjective). The feminine form is jinnÄ«yah.”

Yeah, because Wikipedia is such a valid source…

The Synonyms proposal seems a more useful solution, if people are getting it wrong.

Now that it’s been brought to their attention, I see no reason why people will be getting it wrong.

Ienpw: You linked to this very proposal.

Darth: I think he meant to.

I realize as much, but he linked from a page… to itself. The only time I’ve seen that happen intentionally is here.

Brilliant!

Actually,  can’t we just typo-fix all the “Djinn"s into “Djinni"s?

Orn: Yes

It would be CfJ’d.

This Gives Djinn as both/either a plural or singular.

No, it gives Jinn.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/djin?db=luna <—This, however, gives Djin ameaning Jinn. As does the Jinn page (lists Djinn as a sysnonym of Jinn).

Ah.
