§ 30. The following are the terminations of the Second Declension:--
| Singular. | Cases. | Plural. |
| Masc. | Neut. | | Masc. | Neut. |
| ος | ον | Nominative. | οι | α |
| ου | Genitive. | ων |
| ῳ | Dative. | οις |
| ον | Accusative. | ους | α |
| ε | ον | Vocative. | οι | α |
| Dual. Nom., Acc., Voc., ω; Gen., Dat., οιν. |
§ 31. The few fem. nouns of this declension take the masc. terminations. The Voc. masc. sing. is occasionally ος.§ 32. The following are the terminations of the Third Declension:--
| Singular. | Cases. | Plural. |
| Masc. and Fem. | Neut. | | Masc. and Fem. | Neut. |
| ς (or long vowel before final letter.) | (naked stem.) | Nominative. | ες | α |
| ος | Genitive. | ων |
| ι | Dative. | σι(ν) |
| ν or α | (naked stem.) | Accusative. | ας | α |
| (like Nom. or Neut.) | (naked stem.) | Vocative. | ες | α |
| Dual. Nom., Acc., Voc., ε; Gen., Dat., οιν. |
§ 33. The Nom. sing. is so often changed by the euphonic rules that the stem of the noun is best seen in the Gen. Nouns in ις, υς, and ευς take the (Attic) Gen. εως, (ω regarded as short.) The α of the Acc. sing. is usually after a consonant. Many irregularities and some anomalies occur, which may generally be learned from the lexicon.
ADJECTIVES.
§ 34. These are declined like nouns, having sometimes three sets of terminations for the respective genders, sometimes two, (masc. and fem. alike,) rarely but one, (all genders alike.) The masc. and neut. are always of the same declension, (second or third,) and the fem., when different, always of the first. Participles are declined like adjectives.§ 35. Adjectives are compared either by using an adverb expressive of degree, or, more regularly, by adding to the stem of the positive the syllables ότερος or ίων for the comparative, and ότατος or ιστος for the superlative. Some euphonic changes occur in making these additions, which then take the regular declensional endings.
NUMERALS.
§ 36. The cardinal numbers are either simple, (the units, tens, and a few others,) or compound, (intermediate numbers.) Those from one to four inclusive, and the hundreds and thousands, are declined like adjectives. They may all be learned from the lexicon.§ 37. The ordinals are mostly formed from the cardinals by adjective endings.
PRONOUNS.
§ 38. Of the personal pronouns, those of the 1st and 2d persons only are specially noteworthy, being declined as nouns irregularly:--
| I or Me. | We or Us. | Thou or Thee. | Ye or You. |
| Nominative. | ἐγώ | ἡμεῖς | σύ | ὑμεῖς |
| Genitive. | (ἐ)μοῦ | ἡμῶν | σοῦ | ὑμῶν |
| Dative. | (ἐ)μοί | ἡμῖν | σοί | ὑμῖν |
| Accusative. | (ἐ)μέ | ἡμᾶς | σέ | ὑμᾶς |
§ 39. The rest are declined as adjectives--masc. ος, fem, η, neut. ο; often compounded, one or both parts being declined; but, with the exception of τις, (interrogative τίς, indefinite τὶς,) neut. τι, Gen. τινος, of the third declension, the article (definite only) and the demonstrative alone are very peculiar in declension, as follows:--
| Singular. | The. | Plural. |
| Masc. | Neut. | Fem. | | Masc. | Neut. | Fem. |
| ὁ | τό | ἡ | Nominative. | οἱ | τά | αἱ |
| τοῦ | τῆς | Genitive. | τῶν | τῶν |
| τῷ | τῇ | Dative. | τοῖς | ταῖς |
| τόν | τό | τήν | Accusative. | -ούς | τά | τάς |
| Dual. Nom., Acc., Voc., τώ, τά; Gen., Dat., τοῖν, ταῖν. |
| Singular. | This, These. | Plural. |
| Masc. | Neut. | Fem. | | Masc. | Neut. | Fem. |
| οὗτος | τοῦτο | αὕτη | Nominative. | οὗτοι | ταῦτα | αὗται |
| τούτου | ταύτης | Genitive. | τούτων | τούτων |
| τούτῳ | -αύτῃ | Dative. | τούτοις | ταύταις |
| τουτου | τοῦτο | ταυτην | Accusative. | τούτους | ταῦτα | ταύτας |
| Dual. Nom., Acc., Voc., τούτω, ταῦτα; Gen., Dat., τούτοιν, ταύταιν |
