History: Latin genitive-ablative map

Source of version: 1 (current)

<- ((Borrowing words from Graeco-Latin)) These rules tell us how to get from the citation forms of Latin nouns, as listed in a dictionary like [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059|Lewis and Short] to the ablative form used for making ((fu'ivla)). Latin nouns are cited as the nominative form and the genitive ending, separated by a comma. Declension Nominative ending Genitive ending Ablative ending First -a -ae -a Second (masc) -us -i -o Second (neut) -um -i -o Third (none) -is -e Third (rare) -is -is -i Fourth (rare) -us -us -u Fifth (rare) -es -ei -e Examples: * stella, ae -> stella 'star' * servus, i -> servo 'slave' * bellum, i -> bello 'war' * princeps, ipis -> principe 'ruler' * dux, ducis -> duce 'leader' * custos, odis -> custode 'guard' * pater, tris -> patre 'father' * genus, eris -> genere 'kind' * cliens, entis -> cliente 'client' * ignis, is -> igni 'fire' * manus, us -> manu 'hand' * dies, diei -> die 'die' These are standard Latin nouns used to illustrate noun declension, not suitable as fu'ivla.
