minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish16•18 hours agoI believe to have read that Inuit is the plural and Inuk the singular. I am not sure though if one is supposed to use singular or plural though in this context (like “a girl od the Inuit” or rather “a girl thats an Inuk”) Sorry for being pedantic.
