Plural of "iliu" when talking about them in English?

Some recent developments over on the Patreon made me wonder what the proper plural of "iliu" is when talking about the species in English. I used to think that it was "iliî", but that is apparently not the case.

I've been using "iliu" as both singular and plural lately. Like "Bantu" or "Chinese" or "deer", I guess. It sounds better to me than "ilius".

In Cuzeian contexts I used the Cuêzi plural iliū.

Iliî is Verdurian, of course, so that's certainly not incorrect.

Thank you!

For a third option, the Historical Atlas (at least the print/old orthography one) uses "ilii".

Yeah, that was intended as an anglicization of iliî.
