"Mandolin" > "Mandolinen"?

If plurals and singular are considered different, this is certainly beyond the rules.
I call shenanigans!
I believe we are still on Rod Stewart.

In Dutch, the -n in plurals is silent, whereas the instrument in the singular is "mandoline". Now go find another song with Nicosia in the title.

Under that theory, if someone posts “My Ding-a-ling”, I can post a title with “schmuck” in it because they mean the same thing in different languages?  I don’t think so.

“Mandolin” ain’t “Mandolinen”


In fact, if “Mandolinen” is the plural of “Mandoline”, it doesn’t qualify anyway.  By previous rulings, “Mandolins” wouldn’t work for “Mandolin” either.

I think we need a ruling from Peter since he started this thread.

Bill, tgo

I concur with Bill; a switch to plural is a switch to plural, no matter how many languages are involved.  Still on Rod the Mod - to which I say, Bette Midler, "Wind Beneath My Wings".
