With the exception of mÄne (which may serve also as Ablative, _in the morning_), the nouns in this list are simply Neuters confined in use to the Nominative and Accusative Singular. Heteroclites. 59. These are nouns whose forms are partly of one declension, and partly of another. Thus:-- 1. Several nouns have the entire Singular of one declension, while the Plural is of another; as,-- vÄs, vÄsis (_vessel_); Plu., vÄsa, vÄsorÅum, vÄsÄ«s, etc. jÅ«gerum, jÅ«gerÄ« (_acre_); Plu., jÅ«gera, jÅ«gerum, jÅ«geribus, etc. 2. Several nouns, while belonging in the main to one declension, have certain special forms belonging to another. Thus:-- a) Many nouns of the First Declension ending in -ia take also a Nom. and Acc. of the Fifth; as, mÄteriÄs, mÄteriem, _material_, as well as mÄteria, mÄteriam. b) FamÄs, _hunger_, regularly of the Third Declension, has the Abl. famÄ of the Fifth. |
