_Nom._ mÅs genus honor
_Gen._ mÅris generis honÅris _Dat._ mÅrÄ« generÄ« honÅrÄ« _Acc._ mÅrem genus honÅrem _Voc._ mÅs genus honor _Abl._ mÅre genere honÅre PLURAL. _Nom._ mÅrÄs genera honÅrÄs _Gen._ mÅrum generum honÅrum _Dat._ mÅribus generibus honÅribus _Acc._ mÅrÄs genera honÅrÄs _Voc._ mÅrÄs genera honÅrÄs _Abl._ mÅribus generibus honÅribus 1. Note that the final s of the stem becomes r (between vowels) in the oblique cases. In many words (honor, color, and the like) the r of the oblique cases has, by analogy, crept into the Nominative, displacing the earlier s, though the forms honÅs, colÅs, etc., also occur, particularly in early Latin and in poetry. II. Ä-Stems. _A. Masculine and Feminine Ä-Stems._ 37. These regularly end in -is in the Nominative Singular, and always have -ium in the Genitive Plural. Originally the Accusative Singular ended in -im, the Ablative Singular in -Ä«, and the Accusative Plural in -Ä«s; but these endings have been largely displaced by -em, -e, and -Äs, the endings of Consonant-Stems. |
