	Declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, declension is a paradigm of inflected nouns.
		Declension is seen, for example, in many Indo-European languages like Latin, Russian, German and Sanskrit; in Dravidian languages like Tamil; in most Uralic languages, such as Finnish and Hungarian; in Swahili and many others.
		Declensions are distinguished by the presence of certain vowels or consonants.

	Latin declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, the accusative is the same as the nominative in the plural of the third, fourth and fifth declensions (but note the alternative –īs accusative plural ending for i-stem nominals, different from nominative –ēs).
		The first (called the "first and second declension") combines the a and o declensions of nouns, with the a endings added when the adjective is feminine, and the o forms for masculines.
		The other class for adjectives (called the "third declension") is similar to the third class for nouns, with the important difference that nearly all these adjectives form the ablative singular in -ī, not in -e.

	The Russian Noun Case System
		We have discovered what a declension class is and how adjectives and verbs agree with nouns according to their declension class and form (spelling).
		The fourth declension, of course, is the declension of plural nouns.
		The pattern in Declension IV is for the accent to fall on the stem in the nominative-accusative and on the ending in the remaining four cases.

	Lesson 5
		But as we did with the 2nd declension, we will learn the endings with the final vowel of the stem treated as part of the ending, and we will use the word "stem" to refer to the stem without its final vowel.
		For 1st declension nouns, the length of the ultima in nominative sing.
		That rule applies to all 1st and 2nd declension nouns and adjectives, but does not require that the ultima be accented in the genitive and dative.

		Whether this is true of teachers, declining and declension are facts of life that all Latin nouns must face.
		A declension is a group of nouns that form their cases the same way — that is, use the same suffixes.
		All the nouns in the first declension use the endings shown in Table 1 to indicate case in a sentence.

	What's the Plural of 'Virus'?
		That seems to be using virus as a genitive, which contradicts the assertion that it's 2nd declension, which would have lead to viri, and supports the 4th declension position.
		The Latin noun virus does not belong to the second declension group but, like the noun fructus, meaning fruit or piece of fruit, belongs to a group of Latin words that is declined according to the fourth declension.
		According to the fourth declension the plural genitive of virus in Latin is viruum and therefore an Index of Viruses is in Latin an Index Viruum.

		Adjective endings for 1st/2nd declension adjectives are very similar to noun endings from the 1st/2nd declension (there is such a thing as third declension adjectives, which you won't be surprised to hear use 3rd declension noun endings, sort of).

	Declension
		In linguistics, declension is a feature of inflected languages: the changing of a noun to indicate its grammatical role.
		In English grammar, the same task is now accomplished with word order, though a few remnants of an older declined form of English still exist (e.g.

		There is lot of variance of masculine forms and it’s impossible to clearly divide them into a few declension groups.
		Here they are divided by gender—accusative is always equal to nominative in inanimate masculine gender, to genitive in personal masculine gender, and to genitive in singular and nominative in plural in animate masculine gender.
		Demonstrative pronouns in decline as adjectives and match object in gender, number, and case.

		Though I've never heard their earlier work, World Declension comes across as a solid first generation death metal meets classic American death metal riffery, all accented by killer drumming from new member Ronnie Bergerstahl.
		On their latest release, the band combines the more melodic side of earlier Entombed with the heavier and vibrant aspects of At The Gates, but there are also obvious Morbid Angel and Death leanings, considering the darker and more atmospheric passages in some songs.
		And it is these songs that lend World Declension an extra edge, since the band obviously has an ear for atmosphere and more toned down yet heavier compositions.

	Lynch, "False Refinement and Declension"
		Now rise and fall together suggest a peak, and in this paper I'd like to discuss this linguistic trajectory by placing Johnson's comments on the history of the language in the context of other such statements from the fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries.
		To judge by the front matter of the Dictionary alone, Johnson was attuned to this discourse of linguistic corruption.
		His "studious" search for "examples and authorities from the writers before the restoration" is an expression of the eighteenth-century desire to authorize the language by reference to a corpus of canonical British texts.
