Names pt. one.

 If a name ends with -“us” then its plural ends in “odes”.  An example would be “Jesus” becoming “Jesodes”.

Φersu, the newest english word, taken right from Etruscan.

 We should loan the etruscan word "φersu" with the plural "φersuar".  We could spell it the way the etruscans did too!  It is the origin of person, and it means a mask worn in a play.  No, I do not care that this will be the third word we took from "𐌘𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌖".  Normally I would advocate this "φersuar" as the correct spelling for "person", and if the "n" was silent, then I would, but I think we need to loan it because we need more loans from Etruscan.  Also, Ynglish has some doublets already, so why not make some more?

About "-us" and "-um" as far as plurals are concerned

"cactodes" and "cacti" are correct, but "cactuses" isn't, despite what Lexico would have you believe.  An exception to this rule is "nucleus" when used in the context of a cell.  Also, Lexico says "algæ", of all things, is correct, and the plural of "alga" as opposed to "algie", "alge", "algea" being the correct way to refer to it.  Algea is the correct term which is an uncountable noun, and the word "alga" which Lexico made up should only be used if you are writing fo...
