On this extremely important point: the "os" ending is normally the masculine,
nominative ending for a noun in classical greek. The corresponding nominative
plural ending is "oi" (we all know of, and most of us are a part of, the
hoi polloi-- plural of "hos pollos"). I don't know if there really is a
plural of kerberos, since it is a proper name, but it probably should be
kerberoi instead of kerberi.
