Tauri, I believe -- masculine, nominative case
You're probably right. Endings of "us" is masculine and "ae" is feminine and "i" is plural - as in alumnus, alumnae and alumni?
At any rate, somebody is right and nobody cares.

My wife and I were an aisle over - scared the crap outta me, i heard a distinct beewweeeuuuu go past us, I guess a fragment as one of the other dealers said the round went into a box - Fort Worth's finest were there in nanoseconds. We were at Winchesters a few months back and a guy on the range put a round through his hand, now this at a gun show - my wife is ready to sell everything and never have anything to do with shooting sports again.

Other than the ND - show was good. Handgun prices for the most part were not more than normal. EBR's were prominant. Picked up a NIB S&W 360PD for $710.00. The dealers were definately processing a lot of paper. I have never seen so many Taurus's (Taurii?) being sold.
