Plurals in English

If mouse becomes mice, then many a house become hice.
And if a singular for mice is a mouse, then singular for lice is a louse!
And if a singular for mice is a mouse, then singular for many grains of rice is a rouse!

If you have a single ox, then many of them are oxen.
So, if you have a single box, when moving, you use many boxen.

Have you ever been chased by a giggle of kaggle of foxen?
