Words from Latin ending in -us form plurals ending in i, e.g. cacti and alumni and more rarely syllabi.

As octopus is not Latin, the plural octopi is considered erroneous, although often used.

The Greek letters chi, pi, psi and xi have long i sounds.

Some words with a long i not at the end of the word include Biology, diary, finance, giant, iota, mitosis, pica, rhinoceros, siren, tiny, violent, and wily.
