SYNTAX RULES 7-8

  1. Genitive Plural in Parisyllabic Names. Nouns not increasing their number of syllabes (i.e. parisyllabic names) between Nominative and Genitive Singular make the Genitive Plural in -ium; thus ovis, nubis make ovium, nubium.
  2. Neuters in -al, -ar, -e. Neuters nouns of the 3rd declension ending (Nominative Singular) in -al, -ar, -e have Ablative singular in -i, Nominative Plural in -ia, and Genitive Plural in -ium; e.g., animal, calcar, (a spur), mare.
