Nouns
Latin Nouns are divided into five declensions. One recognizes the
declension from the genitive singular form.
When the gender letter is bracketed, it indicates that most
of the nouns of this declension are in the indicated gender but
there are a few exceptions. Note the macrons are indicated with
^ over the vowels to indicate a long sound. î sound like
eee ,û sounds like eu , ê sounds like
eh, the long â and ô are but fuller sounds.
