Tag Alias: antenna_hair -> hair_antennae

Aliasing antenna_hair -> hair_antennae.

Reason: Grammatically, the word order would be more correct IMHO.

I don't think antennae would be accurate, since I think the naming came from "rabbit ears" tv antenna. Using antennae would imply that it is composed of two antenna locks of hair, which would then classify ahoge as a "hair antenna" (that would lead down the road to people frequently bringing up an alias or implication between these tags). Both of the locks together should be treated as a single unit, not two separate units.

Going with treating it as a single unit, it should be noted that probably the most classic style of antenna_hair has the two locks of hair originating from the same origin point on the head (Narusegawa_Naru is a perfect example of this, example:post #150364). This is more in-line with the "rabbit ears" tv antenna shape, than with insect antennae (although that style exists as well post #1254970).

Side note: You currently have it as antenna_hair_ instead of antenna_hair in your proposed alias.

Would antennae be the plural of antenna?

Yes, and just doing a quick check on google it would appear that it is the plural specfically for the zoological/biological definition of antenna and antennas would be the plural for the non-biological tv/radio definition.

When two or more locks of hair stick out of a character's head. These are usually thin and resemble bunny ear antennas (or a cockroach, if you prefer).

In this case, antenna is an adjective to describe hair, and not the other way around, so I think it's correct the way it is.

This is where I stand, so let's leave it as it.
