Question regarding nominatives: magister and magistra
(I) Regarding the genitive singular (masculine) word: <<magistri>>
Question: Is the genitive plural (masculine) spelled as <<magistrorum>> correct?
(II) Regarding the genitive singular (feminine) word: <<magistrae>>
Question: Is the genitive plural (feminine) spelled as <<magistrarum>> correct?
I think I am ninety-nine percent sure for both. I hope it's not magistorum and magistarum.

You are correct... keep those R's in there
flebile nescio quid queritur lyra, flebile lingua murmurat exanimis, respondent flebile ripae

If you can, pick up a copy of "501 Latin Verbs" by Richard Prior. It fully conjugates hundreds of verbs (501 in fact ;) and has been indispensible to me for answering questions like this one. :)

So, do the 501 Latin verbs include nouns?
