Since I can claim some authority on this bit of terminology, the correct
plural form for both the animal and the acoustical _wolf_ is, indeed,
_wolves_. The members of my household, on the other hand, are usually
referred to as a collection of _Wolfs_.

By the way: In Just Intonation, how do you avoid a wolf in a progression
like the following: I V I vi ii V I? I think you have to choose between a
wolf and a comma slip, and I generally prefer the former.
