Researches

[Rudolph C Troike]

Back in the stone age of 1962 I published an article naively titled
"Researches in Coahuiltecan Ethnography", which was a collection of
separate research studies from various sources brought together under one
roof. It seemed not unnatural to title it thus, though I agree that like
other normally noncount nouns, it has a different meaning (like "sugars")
when pluralized, i.e. of differentiated instantiations of whatever, and is
not commonly used. I hope this doesn't still violate dInIs' and Lynne's
Sprachgefuhl.
