Are more then one plectrum 'plectrums' or 'plectra' or plectrii'?

If daughter's knowledgable OH comes up with something better then I'll quiet myself into submission.

"Plectrum" has both a Latin-based plural, plectra and a native English plural, plectrums. Plectra is used in formal writing, particularly in discussing the harpsichord as an instrument of classical music. However, plectrums is more common in ordinary speech. In vernacular speech the abbreviation pleck or plec is sometimes used.
