3rd declension adjectives

Post by blutoonwithcarrotandnail »

i have always been using third declension adjectives with i-stems. i am looking at the word PAUPER and find that there are consonant 3rd declension adjectives which conjugate differently from i-stems like OMNIS.

look at the following table:

sing

m/f n
PAUPER PAUPER
PAUPERIS PAUPERIS
PAUPERI PAUPERI
PAUPEREM PAUPER
PAUPERE PAUPERE

plur

m/f n
PAUPERES PAUPERA
PAUPEREM PAUPERUM
PAUPERIBUS PAUPERIBUS
PAUPERES PAUPERA
PAUPERIBUS PAUPERIBUS



I know that there are three type of i-stem declensions.
there are probably irregulars too. within the consonant
stem 3rd delcension adjectives with irregulars aside does
the above table cover all types or are there others
(not including irregulars)


thanks.
