Plural vs. singular

There seems to be some confusion regarding which variant should be used:

  1. Pets de soeurs
  2. Pets de soeur
  3. Pet de soeur

I don't have a strong position on this, but it should be resolved by discussion here, rather than being changed repeatedly. At present, I favor alternative #2, but am open to persuasion. Reify-tech (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed the french wikipedia article gives a reference to a dictionary entry from a dictionary created by the Government of Quebec. I think we are on pretty solid ground to defer to the spelling there: pet de sœur or pet-de-sœur. And following normal french grammar the plural would be pets-de-sœurs or pets de sœurs. I would also argue that since this a French term and not an English one borrowed from french that the œ ligature should be retained. This is also consistent with the recommendations in the MoS.TextAlchemist (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As no one responded to my suggestion above, I will go ahead and change the spelling from 'Pêtes' to 'Pets'.
