In Germany, don't you know the proper plural of Lotus is Loti?  :)

If we are doing Latin lessons then, the plural of "Europa" would be "Europae" as it would decline like "mensa", just as "Lotus" would decline like "dominus".

The only contradiction is Lotus is masculine, and Europa is feminine. I have always thought of my 4129R as being feminine; I call her "Lolita" (little "Lola").

I once raced a Lola. I would consider my Lotus to be bigger. What is the Latin for big Lola?

I heard an official statement that the plural of 'Lotus' is still 'Lotus'. If you are going straight German it could be 'Lotusse'..... :o

What do you expect from a country that spells "color" "colour"!  :FUNNY:
