maybe it's one of those weird words that are both singular and plural in the same word, Like Sheep and Fish?

I believe it is one of those words where the plural of itself is... itself.

So one yeti
Many yeti.

English is just broken in soooo many ways. Hell we even write our sentences backwards, and don't even realise it.

Well we'd have to find someone who spoke Tibetan to educate us as to the proper plural, but in English I would have to say "Yeti" sounds best to me as a plural. No difference in pronunciation because it doesn't have a Latin etymology.

The plural of penis always was an odd thought to me.....penii?
Apparently it's not. I was once told I was stupid for saying that. I'm told it's penises.
