Unsure whether to spell it 'tuilik' or 'tuiliq'? The confusion over our favorite piece of gear just deepened. The Qajaq USA website reports that the Greenlandic plural of tuilik is "tuilitt" not tuiliks. (Only English adds an "s" to form the plural of a noun.) Should Bug Head go native and become Bug Head Tuilitt? No way we say. Marketing is tough enough as it is without adding incomprehensibility to our name. Besides, it's all moot. As Greenland champion Maligiaq Padilla (photo) points out, a neoprene tuilik is called a 'tuilisaq.' Now what's the Greenlandic plural of that?
