Description

Could you please handle latin plurals? e.g.: the plural of uterus is uteri plural_noun("uterus") returns "uteruses" which is wrong.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the inflect library's pluralization logic, specifically how singular nouns are converted to plural. Determine where and how to add a rule for Latin plurals (e.g., 'us' > 'i'). Consider the existing patterns for irregular plurals and add a mapping for common Latin words ending in 'us'.
