We're making fake latin plurals from singulars ending in -us. Either -i
(as in viri <- virus) or -ii (as in virii <- virus). So bi and bii would
come from "bus". Altho in this context "bus" actually comes from
"omnibus" --- I don't know what the correct plural of it is, but it's
plausible that it is "omnibi" in which case getting around using bi
instead of driving might be a reasonable thing to do...
