It will be observed that vetus is declined as a pure Consonant-Stem; i.e. Ablative Singular in -e, Genitive Plural in -um, Nominative Plural Neuter in -a, and Accusative Plural Masculine and Feminine in -Äs only. In the same way are declined compos, _controlling_; dÄ«ves, _rich_; particeps, _sharing_; pauper, _poor_; prÄ«nceps, _chief_; sÅspes, _safe_; superstes, _surviving_. Yet dÄ«ves always has Neut. Plu. dÄ«tia. 2. Inops, _needy_, and memor, _mindful_, have Ablative Singular inopÄ«, memorÄ«, but Genitive Plural inopum, memorum. |
