Note
A y-to-ies plural, like query and queries, that exists only for the countable uses of inquiry. Single questions and separate investigations can be counted. Inquiry as an activity, as in a spirit of inquiry or freedom of inquiry, has no plural. Questions tend to be inquiries about something, while investigations are inquiries into it, which helps tell the two apart.
