A suggestion: The plural of 'boet' is more likely to be 'boete' rather than 'boets'. The latter of which is the English form. However, in Afrikaans, in the case of this word, the diminutive or more formal form would be preferred. Most Afrikaans speakers won't use the word 'boete', but would prefer 'boeties' (pronounced like booties with a short 'o' sound) or 'broers' (pronounced like brew-rs).
