The Latin word is actually alia. It could be a pun from Wolfe, but it could also be a typo.



I have no background in Latin, but I think that alia is neutral plural and alii is masculine plural. In this case et alii makes more sense.


You're right [1]. Interesting, I've always seen et alia before, but it looks like et alii is more often correct.
