Nouns ending in “-ius” and “-ium” of the second declination
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2005 11:15 am
Salvete,
I have just finish the lesson where the nouns ending in “-ius” and “-ium” of the second declination (Pag 48 of pdf) and I have some doubts that I would appreciate if someone could help me.
I think I have got everything strait about the singular cases except the Vocative. As example I will decline Fīlius Bonus:
Nom Fīlius bonus
Gen Fīlī bonī
Dat Fīliō bonō
Ac Fīlium bonum
Ab Fīliō bonō
Voc Fīlī bone
Is the Vocative case correct?
Now for the plurals, has the Nom plural of fīlus a double “i" termination? I would think so has the text states that the plural is regular but then the Gen singular would be different of the Nom plural, so I’m not sure. I would decline the plural like:
Nom Fīliī bonī
Gen Fīliōrum bonōrum
Dat Fīliīs bonīs
Ac Fīliōs bonōs
Ab Fīliīs bonīs
Voc Fīliī bonī
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Andrus.
