> -bus is the plural ablative form, yes. But I'm talking about the root. Look it up in your vocab if you don't believe me. Plus, pluris, etc is a comparitive form, usually meaning more. It's not the ending in this case that makes it comparitive, it's simply an irregular comparitive word by itself.

She just asked where you got your information, she wasn't doubting you! And now I'm curious, too. Was this in a class, perhaps? Out of a book? Please tell us! I'm dying to know!

Ti'ok, I'm not dying, just curious'cia
