and many others.

Words marked with a star regularly have Acc. -im; those marked with a †
regularly have Abl. -Ä«. Of the others, many at times show -im and -Ä«. Town
and river names in -is regularly have -im, -Ä«.

2. Not all nouns in -is are Ä­-Stems. Some are genuine consonant-stems, and
have the regular consonant terminations throughout, notably, canis, _dog_;
juvenis, _youth_.[14]

3. Some genuine Ä­-Stems have become disguised in the Nominative Singular;
as, pars, _part_, for par(ti)s; anas, _duck_, for ana(ti)s; so also mors,
_death_; dōs, _dowry_; nox, _night_; sors, _lot_; mēns, _mind_; ars, _art_;
gēns, _tribe_; and some others.

_B. Neuter Ä­-Stems._

39. These end in the Nominative Singular in -e, -al, and -ar. They always
have -Ä« in the Ablative Singular, -ia in the Nominative, Accusative, and
Vocative Plural, and -ium in the Genitive Plural, thus holding more
steadfastly to the i-character than do Masculine and Feminine Ä­-Stems.
