 2, First and third declension. The feminines of this group fol- 

 low the first declension, the masculines and neuters the 

 third. According to the termination of the stem of the 

 latter, there are two groups, the one with the stem in a 

 consonant, the other with vowel-stem. 



a. Stem in a consonant, usually -v or -t, masc. in -v or -s, neut. 

 in -V. The stem is readily derived by dropping -os of the 

 genitive singular masculine.

d. Stem in the vowel -v; nom. sing. masc. in -u?, neut. in -v. 

 The stem is obtained by dropping -s of the nominative sin- 

 gular masculine. Adjectives in -v, unlike nouns of this 

 class, do not take the connective -o-. The use of the stem 

 vowel, -V, as connective is so nearly absolute that it has 

 seemed unwise to extend the connective -o- to this class.
