Exc. 1. The following nouns are masculine: Hadria, the Hadriatic sea; comēta, a comet; planēta, a planet; and sometimes talpa, a mole; and dāma, a fallow-deer. Pascha, the passover, is neuter.

Exc. 2. The ancient Latins sometimes formed the genitive singular in ai; thus, aula, a hall, gen. aulai; and sometimes likewise in as; which form the compounds of familia usually retain; as, māter-fămilias, the mistress of a family; genit. matris familias; nom. plur. matres-familias, or matresfamiliarum.

Exc. 3. The following nouns have more frequently abus in the dative and ablative plural, to distinguish them in these cases from masculines in us of the second declension :

Anima, the soul, the life.

Dea, a goddess.

Equa, a mare.

Fáměla, a female servant.

Filia, Nata, a daughter.
Liberta, a freed woman.
Mula, a she-mule.

Thus, deabus, filiäbus, rather than filiis, &c.

GREEK NOUNS.

Nouns in, AS, ES, and E of the first declension, are Greek. Nouns in As and ES are masculine nouns in E are feminine. Nouns in as are declined like penna; only they have am or an in the accusative; as, neas, Æneas, the name of a man; gen. Enēœ; dat. -e; acc. -am or an; voc. -a; abl.

a.

So Boreas, -eæ, the north wind; Tiaras, -a, a turban. In prose they have commonly am, but in poetry oftener an, in the accusative. Greek nouns in a have sometimes also an in the acc. in poetry; as Ossa, -am, or -an, the name of a mountain.

Nouns in es, and e are thus declined:

Anchises, Anchise the name of a man.
Singular.

Pénélope, Penelope, the name of a woman.

Singular.

Dat. Penelope,

Acc. Penelopen,

Voc. Penelope, •Abl. Penelope.

These nouns, being proper names, want the plural, unless when several of the same name are spoken of, and then they are declined like the plural of penna.

The Latins frequently turn Greek nouns in es and e into a; as, Atrida, for Atrides; Persa for Perses, a Persian; Geometra, for tres, a Geometrician; Circa, for Circe; Epitoma, for me, an abridgment; Grammatica, for -ce, grammar; Rhetorica, for ce, oratory. So Clinia, for Clinias, &c. The accusative of nouns in es and e is found sometimes in em.

Note. We sometimes find the genit. plural contracted; as, Calicolúm, for Calicolarum; Eneădûm, for -arum.

SECOND DECLENSION.

Nouns of the second declension end in er, ir, ur, us, um ; os, on.

Nouns in um and on are neuter; the rest are masculine.

Nouns of the second declension have the gen. sing. in i; the dat. and abl. in o; the acc. in um; the voc. like the nom. (But nouns in us make the vocative in e:) The nom. and voc. plur. in i, or a; the gen. in orum; the dat. and abl. in is; and the acc, in os, or a; as,

Nom. gěněri,

Gen. generōrum,
Dat. generis,

Acc. generum, Acc. generos,
Voc. gener, Voc. generi,
Abl. genero, Abl. generis.

Terminations.

er, ir, us, i,

i, orum, o, is,

um, os,

er, ir, e, i,

o, is.

After the same manner decline sõcer, -ĕri, a father-in law; puer, -ĕri, a boy: So Furcifer, a villain; Lucifer, the morning star; adulter, an adulterer; armiger, an armour-bearer; presbyter, an elder; Mulciher, a name of the

the god Vulcan; vesper, the evening; and Iber, -ēri, a Spaniard, the only noun in er which has the gen. long, and its compound Celtiber, -ēri: Also, vir, viri, a man, the only noun in ir; and its compounds, Levir, a brother-in-law; Semivir, duumvir, triumvir, &c. And likewise Sătur, -ŭri, full, (of old, saturus) an adjective.

But most nouns in er lose the e in the genitive; as,
Ager, a field, masc.

Sing.

Plural.

Aper, a wild boar.

Arbiter, (& -tra), a judge.
Auster, the south wind.
Cancer, a crab-fish.

Caper, an he goat.

Culter, the coulter of a
plough, a knife.
Faber, a workman.

Măgister, a master.
Minister, a servant.
Önăger, a wild ass.
Scalper, a lancet.

Also liber, the bark of a tree, or a book, which has libri ; but liber, free, an adjective, and Liber, a name of Bacchus, the god of wine, have liberi. So likewise proper names, Alexander, Evander, Periander, Menander, Teucer, Měleūger, &c. gen. Alexandri, Evandri, &c.

Abăcus, a table or desk.

Voc. domini,

Abl. dominis.
