four i's

[Gary Rosenberg]

^Tudicula ishiii^ Matsui, 1959 (J. Fac. Sci. Hokkaido Univ. (4)10(2):298)
was named for Jiro Ishii.  Thankfully, the name was not first Latinized to
give genitive "ishiiii."  Even under the new code, one will have to know
the spelling of the name on which the honorific was based to judge if
truncating an i is permitted.
