"Perscriptio Octopus apud Wikipedia Iterum!"
"The Octopus Entry at Wikipedia Again!"

( Res Plures )

Polypus (from Doric Greek) anciently set the precedent of an inflectional paradigm whereby a Latinized Greek word with that -πους ("foot") element may be declined in the second declension (if not regularly in the third declension), reflecting the Doric Greek genitive form πώλυπου and the Attic Greek genitive form πολύπου.

Octopi follows this precedent. And that is why octopi is a valid Latin form.

That is why I shall continue to use octopi without reservation!

I finished this thing this morning. Some of these arguments are so... 2000, 2001.

I just might rework it and then use that version as a replacement for one of my articles at DIES GAUDII.
