Compare the following comment on the form 'cello and the plural form in -i:1954 Grove's Dict. Music II. 138/2 Cello..may be considered as having become an English word by adoption, and there is thus no necessity to spell it with an apostrophe ('cello), as is still frequently done, nor is the Italian plural (celli) desirable.
