Thanks Kathy,
I certainly wouldn't argue with a BA in Linguistics! I did 4
years of Latin in High School (15 years ago) but must have pressed the
erase button straight after the exams.
Your explanation also explains another point that came up:
hippopotamus – hippopotami
rhinoceros – rhinoceroses
I might have to get this OED after all.
Dave.
