The method by which they are declined can always be ascertained by taking the genitive case singular. Whatever precedes the is may be considered as the stem, to which the various case endings may be added. Thus, lux (f.) light; genitive singular, luc-is. Luc is here the stem; hence, luc-em, luc-i, luc-e. Mucilago, mucilage; genitive singular, mucilagin-is. Mucilagin is here the stem ; hence, mucilagin-em, .mucilagin-i, mucilagin-e. And so throughout B. Nouns of the third declension not increasing in the genitive singular; that is, having the same number of syllables in the genitive as in the nominative. These nouns make the genitive plural in ium; as, Igms, ignis (m.), fire; gen. plural, igniUM. Tussis, tussis (f.), a cough, gen. plural, tussiUM. These have been called I Nouns. 6VIS (f.), a sheep. Nom. Vac. Acc. Gen. Dat. Abl. Singular. Ovis, a sheep. 6 vis, O sheep. Ov-em, a sheep. 6v-is, of a sheep. 6v-i, to or for a sheep. 6v-e, by, with, or from a sheep. Plural, Ov-es, sheep, 6v-es, O sheep. Ov-es, sheep. 6v-iUM, of sheep. Ov-ibiis, to or for sheep. 6v-ibus, by, with, or from sheep.
