Dictionary Entries The dictionary will give you the nominative singular, genitive singular and gender of a noun. To save space, the genitive singular can be abbreviated: ancilla, ancillae f. OR ancilla, -ae f. dominus, dominī m. OR dominus, dominī m. mīles, mīlitis m. OR mīles, -itis m. The genitive singular lets you know how the stem changes in a 3rd declension noun and also tells you if a noun in –us is 2nd or 4th declension servus, -ī m. v. portus, -ūs m. The vocabulary at the back of Cambridge Book 1 gives you the accusative singular instead because the genitive is not introduced until Book 2.

General Tips The accusative singular in masculine and feminine nouns always ends in –m dominum, ancillam, mercātōrem The accusative plural of masculine and feminine nouns always ends in -s dominōs, ancillās, montēs The genitive plural always ends in -um dominōrum, ancillārum, montium The dative and ablative plural are always the same and end in –īs or –bus cum ancillīs, cum dominīs, sine mīlitibus, omnibus crēdite The neuter nominative and accusative are always the same forum est pulchrum, forum spectāmus The neuter nominative/accusative plural always ends in –a computātra nōn sunt animālia (so a word ending in –a isn’t always a singular, 1st declension noun)

3rd declension: SeXy nouns
3rd declension adjectives ending in –s or–x with the same number of syllables in nominative and genitive singular (e.g cīvis, cīvis, citizen; ignis, ignis, fire) or with a one-syllable nominative singular and a stem for the genitive ending in two consonants (urbs, urbis or nox, noctis) have the genitive plural in –ium: e,g, civium, urbium These nouns also have an alternative accusative plural ending in –īs (e.g. cīvīs videō or cīvēs videō, I see the citizens). This ending, rarely used in beginners’ books, is quite common in Latin literature. If the nominative and genitive singular are exactly the same, the ablative singular can end in –ī as well as in –e (e.g. cum cīvī or cum cīve (with a citizen), sine ignī or sine igne (without fire))
