Non speakers should approach technical discussions of word usage with care.     "Mono" vs "poly" refers to the relationship, not the individual.     The mare may have only one "husband" but she has multiple "wives" unless some evil human limits their access.     

And unless we get too hung up on PC points, there is also "polyandry".    Interestingly, the "poly" both is called "polygamy" so in this context the feminine is dominant.

You´re wrong, mono or poly does refer to the individual , it´s absolutely possible to remain monogamous in a polygamous relationship, isn´t it? So , Caikgoch, what is it then? A "mono" relationship? Or a "poly" one,huh? I guess being a "non speaker" or " native speaker" doesn´t matter so much if simple common logic gets discarded completely... 




Yes, there is "polyandry", but this is a relatively modern and new word you cannot find anywhere in classical Greek literature. A new concept that only has been made possible by societal changes in recent times. And now, would you call mares polyandrous? If they only have one male mate? I hope I don´t have to point out how incredibly ridiculous and Pippi Longstrumpesque your "... a mare may have only one husband but she has multiple wifes..." cringefest is. Ich mach mir die Welt, widde widde, wie sie mir gefällt. When reality and ideology collide...wowsers, I have read many stupid things in forums like this, but that...I guess I´ll print it out and hang it on my wall. Congratulations, Caikgoch, what an outstanding achievement...
