Poor Ms Faal I hope two things: one she was okay after her fall and two her name doesn’t rhyme with that. That’d be double humiliation.

The only plural I’ve ever seen for hippopotamus is “hippopotamuses,” never anything like “hippopotami.” The nouns changing “us” to “i” in the plural end in “ius,” such as radii for radius. Not some consonant before “us” as in these animal names (octopus, hippopotamus).
