> The most boring way to exploit geographic cache locality is "just a bunch of Redii".

I'm not a latin expert, but 'is' is not a latin ending. The closest would be 'es', but then the plural would be Redia or Reda.

"-is" is typical 3rd declension. If it's not neuter (how do you pick a gender for loanwords in Romance languages?), it'd be Redes. If it's neuter it'd be Reda as you said.

Or maybe it'd follow the -eris pattern and be Rederes or Redera.

I thought 3rd declension is just 's' for the nominative singular. So we'd need to know what the stem is.

[nerdponx]

The 3rd declension nominative singular can be anything. "Red-" and "Reder-" were my two guesses at reasonable stems.

I wouldn't be surprised if Neo-Latin hobbyists had rules for things like this.

This might surprise you, but I am also not a latin expert. Maybe the plural of Redis is just Redis.

Sorry I was just being pedantic on a Friday afternoon. The rest of the blog post was great and I agree with all your points. I've been advocating for immutable cache keys for years, for the exact reason you mention.

[mrkurt]

Oh I got a kick out of it!

[twic]

Surely Redare.

[Koshkin]

Clavis “key”, plural with -es. “Redii” would be plural of “Redius”; “Redes” is the correct one. (In English, “Redises” would be just as good.)

If we're playing Warhammer 40K, the chapter keeping all these Redises around the galaxy alive might be called the Cachess Redisari. Now I wanna see what happens when get a little too twisted by the chaos.
