Collection of Collective Nouns
In linguistics, a collective noun is a word used to define a group of objects, where "objects" can be people, animals, inanimate things, concepts, or other things. For example, in the phrase "a pride of lions," pride is a collective noun.
My question is:
What collective noun can we use to denote a collection of collective nouns? I've been stumped by this one since the time I started collecting collective nouns.
Thanks and Regards,
Shamik

Welcome to the forums.
I think you may have found a gap - how about a collation of collective nouns.
