c. If the final term is a noun of the third declension with the 



stem in v, p, or 8 (nom. o-), the compound retains this 

 form, i. e., it is properly a noun used adjectively. Some- 

 times the noun is inflected in two genders, e. g. , -<*>v, -ov, 

 or -up, -op, or, more rarely, it takes the adjective termina- 

 tion, -OS, -OV.
