Idle geekery

Would the plural of Bruticus (in Latin) be Bruticii, Bruticera, Brucutes or something else entirely?

I've used Bruticii in reference to the local Target endcap.

Incidentally, I think the plural of the generic noun "dudeicus" is "dudesicus".

Brutici. You'd only have the doubled "i" if there was already one at the end of the root before declining it (e.g. if the singular were "Bruticius").

Just to see if it will ever catch on, I vote Bruticillia! Hypothetical structures Combaticons use to move around in a fluid...
