It's "gurutavatimundiharistrasnivishumaximotiousnesses". Note the "es" on 
the end. Only in the case of this word does Sanskrit form the plural like 
English (and German, when they're not being silly and trying to indicate 
plural by using "en"), using "es". In all other cases, an additional 16 
syllables are needed to form the plural of common nouns.

Finally, a question that even *I* can answer!
