Pluralizing ~ING to ~INGS

We know that there are a number of ways for verbs to end up with ~ING,
● it’s being there in the first place: [to] ding-king-ping-ring-sing-ting-wing-zing
● through conjugation: to judge – judges – judged – judging
● or when the ~ING forms act/function as nouns: AGINGs BEINGs DOINGs GOINGs ICINGs

Note that in the third type, the ~ING variants can be pluralized (by adding an ‘S’ to them), just like nouns generally can. We should be very careful here though, since the majority of verbs cannot act ‘this way’ (that is, taking an S after ‘being ING-ed’).

Here are some of the most common six-letter ones that can (make a seven-letter bingo):

ACTINGs AGEINGs AIRINGs AWNINGs BAKINGs BOWINGs BOXINGs CASINGs

COMINGs DOPINGs EATINGs ENDINGs FADINGs FILINGs FIRINGs GAMINGs

HIDINGs INNINGs LACINGs LININGs MATINGs MININGs NOSINGs OUTINGs

PAVINGs PILINGs RACINGs RATINGs RIDINGs RULINGs SAVINGs SEEINGs

SIZINGs TAKINGs TIDINGs TILINGs TUBINGs UPPINGs WAXINGs WIRINGs

Recognizing these ‘S welcoming ~ING‘ forms could be quite handy, since at least:
● it makes us realize that there is indeed an extra hook available
● it gives us a chance to make a good challenge (when the opponent makes a ‘bad INGs’)
● it could tempt our opponent to make a bad challenge themselves (on our ‘good INGs’)
