Declension Systems
First Declension
-h, -h" [f]
-a–, -a–" [f]
-a±, -h" [f]
-a±, -a–" [f]
-h", -ou [m]
-a–", -ou [m]
irregulars
Second Declension
-o", -ou
masculine
feminine
masculine & feminine
masculine & neuter
-on, -ou [n]
irregulars
Third Declension
labial stems [The s in nom sg and dat pl are written as double consonants.]
p (y, -po") [m or f]
b (y, -bo") [m or f]
f (y, -fo") [m or f]
irregulars
dental stems
t (", -to" [m or f]
(th", -thto" [f]
(", -to" [n] [fw't#fw'", fwtov"] [note: since Greek words can end only with vowels, diphthongs, n, r, and ", the zero ending of the nom/acc sg in the third declension occasions problems for words whose roots end with an unacceptable letter. Words like fw'" and tevra" replace the t with a " in those forms. With -ma nouns, the terminal t is simply dropped.]
(a", -ato" [n] [tevrat#tevra", tevrata"]
(ma, -mato" [n] [mat#ma, mato"]
d (", -do") [m or f]
q (", -qo") [m or f][note: since dentals cannot stand before s, something has to happen in the nom sg and dat pl of dental stems of the 3rd declension. The uniform solution is to drop the dental in those places.]
irregulars [pouv", ou\", govnu, u{dwr]
guttural stems [The s in nom sg and dat pl are written as double consonants.]
k (x, -ko") [m or f]
(x, -kto") [m or f]
g (x, -go") [m or f]
c (x, -co") [m or f]
irregulars
nasal stems
n (n, -no")
vv nt (n, -nto")
compensatory lengthening [on m & f forms] vs. w/o compensatory lengthening [Since n, a dental, cannot stand before s, the nom sg and dat pl of third-declension occasion a difficulty that is uniformly solved by dropping the s in the nom sg and dropping the n in dat pl. The loss of the case ending in nom sg is compensated for by lengthening the root vowel before the n if it is short.]
liquid stems
l (;l", -lo")
r (r, -ro")
syncopated nouns
compensatory lengthening [on m & f forms] vs. w/o compensatory lengthening
[The sounds l and r often are not allowed to stand before s, the nom sg and dat pl of third-declension occasion a difficulty that is solved by dropping the s in the nom sg and dropping the n in dat pl. The loss of the case ending in nom sg is compensated for by lengthening the root vowel before the n if it is short.]
u-stems (u", -uo" [m or f]
i-stems (i", -ew" [m or f]
eu-stems (eu", -ew" [m]
s-stems (h", -ou" [m]
