Plural Form

What is the source ofsound bad the plural of 'isthmus' being 'isthmi'? The -us --> -i plural is a Latin plural formation, not Greek. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.103.92.36 (talk) 07:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retract and Remove Erroneous Information

Due to complications of misinterpretation by a young editor in the Tsushima Islands article, the below paragraph was generated by myself back in June to add some interesting length to the article. A more detailed discussion of this error is available in Talk:Tsushima Island (Archieve 4, iirc) under the heading "Circular Arguement".
Alas, the unquoted source material when examined in toto, taken properly in it's full context was attempting a subtle irony, so when taken literally, was mistaken in fact. In actual fact, the misunderstood reference was referring to a 40 meter wide canal, not a 2 km channel assumed in the below:

The Japanese created a negative isthmus, of sorts, on the Tsushima Islands (Archipelago), by permanently dividing two islands joined by an isthmus by a 2 [km] wide channel. Between 1895 and 1904, the Japanese navy blasted a ship channel (between one or two kilometers wide), through an isthmus of the single island between Aso Bay from the west, and Tsushima Strait on the east, permanently dividing the island into two islands. These have since been named Kamino-shima and Shimono-shima.

Most famous isthmus

I think the line "the most famous isthmus" should be changed. Most famous to whom? It should be changed to 'one of the most famous' or it should be removed completely.
