   Is hound a plural?

   • And "-e" plurals are relatively common as well. e.g., der Hund - die Hunde, der Schuh - die Schuhe. Some "-e" plurals also take a vowel shift, e.g., die Hand - die Hände. Can't "Hund" also mean "Hound" and not just "dog"? It's an archaic word by today's standards, but it's still a word. I'd translate hound as "Hetzhund", meaning "hunting dog".
