Re: Mesozoic illnesses

Andreas Johansson has pointed me to this online dictionary entry

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/morphindex?lang=la&lookup=uirus&bytepos=112794650&wordcount=1&embed=2&doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059

which gives _virus_ alone as the accusative and doesn't mention any plural. I take that to mean that, contrary to my assertions, _virus_ as the accusative is attested. This makes a plural in -a more plausible.

Erm... dinosaurs? I'll retype a few SVP meeting abstracts for you as soon as possible. :-}
