Does anyone know what declension absis, absidis belongs to? It is feminine neuter. Is it 3rd?

3rd. All nouns that have their genitive as *-is belongs to the third declension.

in order to decline it use the root of the word, which is found in the genitive, so say singular accusative would be absidem and not absem.

that is feminine. there is no such thing as "feminine neuter".

I agree with everyone else.
A very good website for looking up Latin words can be found here (William Whitaker's

Sorry, but it seems as you've been the butt of the joke today. Well, you missed it, and then try to insult me with a puerile anatomical slang. Tsk-tsk, I thought better of you.
