Remind me why I wanted rain?
In article , Jaques d'Alltrades
writes 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 -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
