The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

It wouldn't be virii anyway, would it? That'd be the plural of virius.

4th declension noun would be virii.

Can't remember what the 4th declension is. But isn't -us ending normally
1st declension?

I can't remember what viri
translates as

men?

(and I've lost my huge Latin dictionary) but it isn't the
plural of virus.

It wouldn't be unusual for the same latin word to mean several things -
remember the haunting refrain in Britten's Turn of the Screw? -

Malo - I would rather be
Malo - in an apple tree
Malo - than a naughty boy
Malo - in adversity
