I am no language specialist, but just as I said, the NATIVE languages like the Maori and Marquesan languages that actually use the term "Tiki", might use that non "S" plural, but we are mostly talking about the non-ethnologically correct POP version here on TC.
We are also not calling Hawaiian carvings Ki'i, or Tahitian ones Ti'i, which would be the correct form. Just as the Book of Tiki stated, they are all lumped together in one happy family, the TIKIS.
