Forming Plurals

The idea
Forming a medical plural means identifying the singular ending first, then applying the rule that governs that specific ending.
In practice
Seven singulars, each ending identified before the rule is applied.
Where people slip
The ending is identified before the rule is chosen, never after. Choosing the rule first is what produces virus becoming viri.
