I have always seen "rebuses" used as the plural. "Rebi" sounds like a
Jewish leader, while "rebae" sounds like someone has produced a whole army
of clones of a country-music singer . . .
(And FWIW, Eudora's spell-checker sees nothing wrong with "rebuses" in the
above sentence, while it marked the other two as possible misspellings . . . )
