This needs formatting, but I don't know whether this is singular (what's the plural then) or plural (what's the singular, or is it a plurale tantum?). Thryduulf 22:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, as a borrowed Latin fourth-declension noun, the plural is the same as the singular (like deer is in English). That doesn't mean that English hasn't fashined it's own plural form, mind you, but strictly as a borrowed Latin term, that's the expected plural situation. --EncycloPetey 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Striking. I have removed frc from the entry, as there is no formatting issue; I have entered plural with quotation mark, so anyone feel free to indicate the right plural. A missing plural seems insufficient for a largish rfc box. --Dan Polansky 09:23, 3 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
