As I mentioned above, the Latin plural would not be Jesi, but Jesūs. Tom Send a noteboard - 01/11/2011 10:46:18 PM
Fourth Declension, the bane of those who don't know Latin and try to put words into the plural. It's the same reason they say in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

What would you say is the proper plural form of Jesus? - 01/11/2011 09:51:31 PM 406 Views
Claudii is an established plural, actually. - 01/11/2011 10:02:52 PM 474 Views

Jesī *NM* - 01/11/2011 10:06:29 PM 212 Views
Minor addendum: it seems to be a defective fourth declension. The plural should still be Iesūs. - 01/11/2011 10:44:08 PM 364 Views
Ah, interesting. - 02/11/2011 10:22:37 AM 345 Views
The source? Any good Latin grammar should do. *NM* - 02/11/2011 05:06:31 PM 148 Views
Also, a massive number of names follow 3rd declension. - 02/11/2011 05:30:16 PM 299 Views

Lots of Mexican guys in one room could still be "Jesuses". *NM* - 01/11/2011 10:47:03 PM 122 Views
So is it Jesūs, Jesii, or Jesuses then? - 02/11/2011 01:04:58 AM 318 Views
As I mentioned above, the Latin plural would not be Jesi, but Jesūs. - 01/11/2011 10:46:18 PM 320 Views
maybe his name is a plural anyway *NM* - 01/11/2011 11:13:03 PM 148 Views
Halloween isn't a Christian holiday, at least not originally. - 01/11/2011 10:26:58 PM 388 Views

It seems internationally understood from what I can tell. - 01/11/2011 10:48:02 PM 356 Views
Aren't morbid celebrations to ward away spirits pretty common throughout the world? *NM* - 01/11/2011 11:20:45 PM 147 Views
That's not what Halloween is in the US, though. Not anymore. *NM* - 01/11/2011 11:34:27 PM 134 Views
