AIPPRY

Found word of the day...

PAPYRI (plural of PAPYRUS)

Not so uncommon, but I didn't know you could make it plural this way. The names have been changed (whited out) to protect the innocent.

Also all good:
PAPYRAL
PAPYRIAN
PAPYRINE


Hmm, that reminds me of HYENA, HYENIC, HYENOID, HYENINE.
Comment if you know of any other words like this that have 3 different adjective forms.
