Recently we had a discussion on virus (pluralis : vira).

Sorry to be pedantic, but the plural of "virus" in English is "viruses". The -a suffix is the plural for, IIRC, second declension neuter nouns. If you want the Latin plural, it's "viri" (NOT "virii" - that would ony be the case if the singular were "virius").


Latin is a horrible language.
