New Implementations
-----------------------
[list]
[*] Added Walrii.


http://english.stackexchange.com/questi ... -of-walrus

Only some words of Latin extraction ending in -us, which were second declension nouns in Latin, take -i as plural.

Walrus comes from Dutch, and is akin to Danish and Norwegian hvalros. It is not a Latin second declension noun, so there is no reason it would be pluralized with -i.

The plural of walrus is walruses.

Edit: I just want add an additional note to clarify that even in cases where an English word does come from a Latin second declension noun, its plural might not necessarily end in -i. For example, the plural of campus is campuses not campi, and the plural of bonus is bonuses not boni.

Walrus came from norse though.

btw I realized this is third time you've officially confirmed seasons so I suppose it's really a thing now.
