Another affectation is using "topoi" as the plural of topos. If you insist on that, you should use the genetive of "of topos" and the accusative when it is the direct object--not to mention the vocative when addressing a topos.
What a great idea. You may have started a movement here. Topos: omicron declension (second) . Singular (one) Dual (two) Plural (many) Nom topos topo topoi Gen topou topoin topon Dat topoi topoin topois Acc topon topo topous Voc tope topo topoi (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_grammar ) Be careful when addressing two topo after dinner---if you hail them as topoi they may think you've had one too many. On a related note, anyone know whether topos is masculine or feminine? Ignorance there could get you off to a bad start with two topoin. Vaughan
