Sylus is a noun of the second declension (m) model dominus.
The plural is styli.

There is a Latin word " stilus " - but " stylus " is a word in the
English language.

The Oxford Dictionary gives: Stylus (pl: styli)
Origin: Latin - stilus.

Both words follow the second declension model
dominus. "Sti", or "sty" is the stem, to which the
nominative plural ending "i" is added for stili or styli.

One can only have a double vowel ending (ii) with
a nous such as "radius", where "radi" is the stem to which
the ending "i" is added giving "radii"


The usual plural of which is " styluses " .

The Oxford dictionary states otherwise.
