Fall 2000
email: nnorman@uga.edu Office Hours: M-Th 9 - 10 am
Balme and Lawall, Athenaze vol. 1 Supplementary text by N. Norman (available via the course website)
GENERAL COURSE INFORMATION: We will go through all of volume two of Athenaze this semester & the supplementary text. There will be a test approximately every two weeks, on a Monday. Each test will focus on material covered in the previous weeks, but will, of course, be cumulative. Make-up tests will only be administered for excused absences. There will be many short quizzes, usually twice a week. No make-up quizzes will be given, but your two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. There will be a final, cumulative examination on Mon, May 3, 2004, 12:00 - 3:00 pm The Classics Department provides free tutors for elementary Greek students in Park Hall 229. A schedule will be distributed as soon as possible. We will have a Vocabulary Jeopardy on the last day of class. Study hard because the winner will get an excellent prize!
COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Class attendance and participation is essential. Excessive absences (more than four unexcused) will result in your being dropped from the course; please note that it is within my prerogative to assign a grade of WF even if you drop or are dropped from the course before the withdrawal deadline, depending on the quality of work up to that point. If you enroll in this course, you have made a commitment to attend and to do the work. If you are not willing to do that, drop the course now. You are required to take all quizzes, tests and the final.
GRADING: Participation Weekly tests 5% 45% Quizzes Final Exam 15% 35%
I grade on a 100 point scale, as follows: 100-95: A 85-83: B 75-73: C 69-60: D 59-00: F 94-90: A82-80: B72-70: C-

UNIVERSITY HONOR CODE AND ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY: All academic work must meet the standards contained in A Culture of Honesty. You are responsible for informing yourself about those standards before performing academic work. See http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/honesty/acadhon.htm for more detailed information about academic honesty. SOME ADVICE FOR THE AMBITIOUS & WISE: Do not write your translation in your book. Instead, keep a special notebook to record vocabulary, difficulties, questions, and points made in class. Review your notes regularly, each time you are going to work through next day=s assignment and before a test. Do not write out a translation of the stories in Athenaze. If you do, you will probably look more closely at your English translation than at the Greek text. The more often you work through the Greek text, the better you will understand it and the more quickly you will learn the vocabulary. Furthermore, trying to correct your English translation during class will keep you from looking at the Greek, but looking at the Greek again will help you far more in developing your translation skills than will a correct written English translation. Regular study habits are crucial for successfully completing this course. In this course, I expect you to spend two hours outside of class to prepare for every hour spent in class. Study via study bursts (10-15 minute periods of intense study). Four study bursts spread over the course of the day are much more effective for learning vocabulary and memorizing paradigms than one 60-minute study hall. Work every day. Last minute cramming is a waste of time and energy. Consider using ANKI (a free open-source software) for creating flash cards for vocabulary, paradigms etc. Read and pronounce all Greek out loud as you are learning it. If you have any doubts or questions regarding the pronunciation of forms, please ask me. You dont need to be able to order a coffee in ancient Greek, but we do need to be able to understand one another in class.
General Introduction
Fifth century Greeks wrote in CAPITAL LETTERS, with NOGAPSBETWEENWORDS, with no accents and no breathing marks and virtually no punctuation. All of these conventions sprang up later, some very much later. Consequently the act of reading required a high level of concentration and a high degree of literacy. Try it in English on this fragment of Platos Apology.

NOTE: The vocabulary lists in the course pack use the standard format found in Greek dictionaries. For nouns, the standard listing consists of nominative singular (grw), genitive singular (gro), gender, indicated by the appropriate form of the article ( indicates masculine, indicates feminine, t indicates neuter), and English equivalent. For adjectives, the Greek forms listed are all nominative singular, in the standard order nominative singular masculine (kalw), nominative singular feminine (kal), nominative singular neuter (kaln). For vocabulary quizzes, you need to learn the information both in Athenaze and in the course pack. 6
Greek Text
A printed page in a modern edition of a Greek text includes punctuation marks, word divisions, breathing marks, apostrophes, and accents. Punctuation Marks: C The period (.) indicates that the sentence is complete and that all syntactical expectations have been met. C The comma (,) operates as it does in English. C The question mark (;) indicates a questions and that all syntactical expectations have been met. C The semicolon (:) operates as it does in English. Breathing Marks: C The rough breathing ( ) corresponds to the English h sound. C The smooth breathing ( ) signals the absence of the h sound. C All initial vowels and diphthongs show breathing marks and so does the letter =. Accent Marks: C The acute accent (t) originally indicated ascending pitch on the accented syllable. C The circumflex accent (y) originally indicated ascending and descending pitch on the accented syllable. C The grave accent (x) originally indicated descending pitch on the accented syllable. C Today we pronounce all accents with a stress. C The apostrophe (z) signals a zero, that is the absence of a sound or sounds which have dropped out, as in the English dont.
The Alphabet: The standard Greek alphabet consists of twenty-four letters, as follows. Form Name Form Name
!" #$ '( )* +, -. /0 12 34 56 78 9:
alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa lambda mu
The alternate sigma form, H, is used only at the end of the word; elsewhere the standard form, F , is used. The ancient Greeks used only capital letters; the lower case letters came into use during the Middle Ages. Alphabet Exercises Exercise 1: Practice writing the Greek letters in this space.
Exercise 2: Many English words contain Greek roots which are sometimes recognizable without much difficulty. In the English words below, the segments in bold type are Greek roots. With the help of a dictionary, suggest a meaning for these Greek roots. Then copy them in Greek letters. English word 1. telegraph 2. apocrypha 3. logical 4. charitable 5. elliptical Exercise 3: Transliterate the following words into Greek. i.e., daimon = daimon 1. Kadmos 2. Hektor 3. Agamemnon 4. automatos 5. Sophocles 6. Hera 7. phenomenon (=phainomenon in Greek) 8. sphinx 9. Artemis 10. logos meaning of Greek root Greek spelling

This information about speech acts will be useful as we consider mood and aspect in Greek. Exercise on Speech Acts: Exercise 1: Label the speech acts in the sentences below. 1. Shall I wash the dog 2. Let her wash the dog 3. Is he washing the dog 4. Would that I were washing the dog, instead of studying Greek 5. Wash that dog 6. I am washing the dog

Important Note on Identifying Forms: Nouns and adjectives have three characteristics: CASE, NUMBER, GENDER. About Gender: Every noun in Greek has a gender: masculine, feminine or neuter. It is important to note that nouns can not usually change their gender; in other words, once a masculine noun, always a masculine noun. It is also important to note that it is almost impossible to predict the gender of a Greek noun; therefore it is imperative that when you memorize vocabulary you also MEMORIZE THE GENDER OF ALL NOUNS. About Number: Number is the difference between a singular noun and a plural noun; in English its the difference between man and men or between horse and horses. In English most singular 13
forms of nouns are different from their plurals. The same is true of Greek; usually the singular form of the noun is not identical to its plural form. About Case: Case tells you what syntactical function the noun fulfills in the sentence. For example in our sentence The boy hit the desk, boy is the subject and desk is the direct object; in other words, the subject, boy, is performing an action on the direct object, desk. In our second sentence, The desk hit the boy, the subject is now desk, while boy is now in the position of the direct object receiving the action. This difference is clear in the English sentence because of the word order; but note that the forms boy and desk are exactly the same in both sentences though they occupy two different syntactical positions in the 2 sentences. In a Greek sentence, the form for the subject boy would be different from the form for the direct object boy. It is this difference in form which tells you how to interpret and thus how to translate the nouns in a Greek sentence. In Greek, there are 5 cases, each of which occupies distinct syntactical positions in Greek sentences. Case Name Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Primary Syntactical Function in a Sentence Subject of sentence To show possession; object of prepositions conveying a sense of separation or of going away from Indirect object; object of prepositions conveying the notion of place at which Direct object of sentence; object of prepositions conveying the idea of going towards To address someone directly
Each case has its own form; for example, for a certain category of nouns (called the second declension) the cases are as follows: Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative nyrvpow nyrpou nyrp nyrvpon nyrvpe
Note that the difference in both case and number is reflected in these forms.
14
Each form is composed of two parts (called morphemes) both of which convey meaning a stem (called a stem morpheme) and a case ending (called inflectional morpheme). The stem conveys the root meaning of the word, while the ending indicates case and so suggests possible syntactical functions for the word within a sentence. Important Note About Adjectives: As you all know adjectives modify nouns. Let's add some adjectives to our basic sentence: The angry boy hit the red ball. The addition of adjectives angry and red gives us additional information about the nouns in the sentence. Again, in our English sentence, we know that angry is describing the boy because of word order. In a Greek sentence, however, the sentence could be written in any of the following ways: The boy angry red the ball hit. The ball the boy hit angry red. The red boy hit the angry ball. etc. Since word order does not provide telltale clues on matching adjectives to their nouns, again Greek depends on form to do that. Thus, adjectives must mimic the case, number and gender of the nouns they modify. For example in our modified sentence, The angry boy hit the red ball. Since boy is the subject it would be in the nominative case in Greek; it is singular and the Greek word for boy is a masculine noun. Thus the adjective angry in this sentence would be a nominative, singular, masculine form. Similarly, red would be an accusative (to indicate direct object), singular masculine form to modify the accusative, singular, masculine ball. Since adjectives must be able to modify not only masculine, but also feminine and neuter nouns, adjectives have forms for all three genders.

Important Note on Verbs: Verbs have 6 characteristics: Person, Number, Tense, Voice, Mood and Aspect. In order to translate Greek verbs correctly, you must first identify its characteristics. About Person: The person of a verb refers to its subject. The person can be 1st singular/plural = I/ we 2nd singular/plural = you/ you 3rd singular/plural = he,she,it/ they About Number: Number is the difference between a singular verb and a plural verb, in English the difference, for example, between is and are. Each person has a singular form and a plural form, eg., I am (1st person singular) and we are (1st person plural). About Tense: Tense indicates the time of the action. Did it occur in present time, past time or future time--I eat, I ate, I will eat. About Voice: Voice indicates the relation between the subject and the verb. In active voice the subject performs the action of the verb; in passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. Our basic sentence is in the active voice: The boy hit the desk. (note that the subject is doing the action of the verb) Lets change our basic sentence to the passive voice: The boy is hit by the desk. (note that now the subject is receiving the action of the verb.) Greek also has a middle voice. But more about voice later.
16
About Mood: Mood indicates how the subject views/thinks about the action of the verb. It is the difference between The boy hit the desk. and The boy would like to hit the desk. and Hit the desk! In our basic sentence, we have a plain statement of fact so the verb in Greek would be in the indicative mood; in the second example, we have a wish which would be expressed in Greek by either the subjunctive or optative moods; and in the third example, we have a command which would be expressed in Greek by the imperative mood. More about mood later. About Aspect: Aspect reflects whether or not the action of the verb is completed. It is the difference between The boy hit the desk. and The boy is hitting the desk (while he . . . .) More about aspect later. An Extra Note about Verbs: Just as the three characteristics of nouns and adjectives (case, number and gender) are expressed by their form, so are the six characteristics of a verb (person, number, tense, voice, mood, aspect) expressed by their form. Thus in order to translate a Greek verb correctly, it is necessary first to identify fully its form.
17
Important Note on Identifying Sentence Types: There are several different types of sentences. The three types which we will see most often this quarter are: 1. the Transitive Active Sentence (TAS), 2. the Intransitive Active Sentence (IAS), and 3. the Linking Sentence (LS). The TAS is governed by a transitive verb, a verb which transfers action from a subject to a direct object. The English word order for a TAS is Subject + Verb 6 Direct Object. The boy + hit 6 the desk. The IAS is governed by an intransitive verb, a verb which does not transfer action to a direct object. The English word order for a IAS is Subject + Verb I + think. The LS is governed by a linking verb, a form of the verb to be which links a subject with a predicate. The English word order for a LS is Subject/Predicate Verb Predicate/Subject A = B The rose is red. or Red Another pattern I or A teacher am I. am a teacher. is the rose.
Note how a linking verb can link either a noun with an adjective (called a predicate adjective) or a noun with another noun (called a predicate noun). An Important Note about LS in Greek: When a linking verb is linking a noun with an adjective, that adjective must agree with the noun in terms of case (always nominative), number and gender; in other words, if the noun is singular and feminine, the adjective must also be singular and feminine.

Notes on accent: Final -oi in nominative plural masculine counts as short for purposes of accent. Any noun of the o declension with an accented ultima has circumflex on the ultima in all genitives and datives. In , the long open vowel of v had completely overpowered the i by 100 BCE, so that i ceased to be written in antiquity. The custom of writing i under the line is as late as about the eleventh century CE.
23
Accentuation in Greek
The long vowels are h and v; diphthongs are also long except for ai and oi at the ends of words. The short vowels are e and o. Originally in Greek, accents denoted changes in pitch; in English, accent is shown by an increased stress on the accented syllable. The accent of a Greek work must be learned as a part of its spelling, just as we learn how to stress English (e.g., relative, religious, reconstruct). In Greek, the accents for nouns and adjectives are persistent, that is they try to stay on the same vowel or diphthong in all forms of the word unless forced by the rules of accentuation to move. But the accents for verbs are recessive, that is they go back from the end of the word as far as possible. No matter how many syllables a word has, the accent can appear only over one of the last three syllables: the ultima (U, the last syllable of the word), the penult (P, the next to last syllable of the word) or the antepenult (A, the third syllable from the end). The ACUTE accent: appears over U, P or A appears over short vowels, long vowels or diphthongs Restrictions: CAN appear over the U ONLY when a pause follows CANNOT appear over the P when it is accented and contains a long vowel or diphthong and the U contains a short vowel CAN appear over the A ONLY when the U contains a short vowel The GRAVE accent: appears ONLY over the U appears over short vowels, long vowels or diphthongs Restrictions: CAN ONLY replace an acute accent over the U when there is no pause The CIRCUMFLEX accent: appears ONLY over the U and P appears ONLY over long vowels or diphthongs Restrictions: MUST appear over the P when the P is accented and contains a long vowel or diphthong and the U contains a short vowel CANNOT appear over the P when the U contains a long vowel or diphthong

Second person singular indicative: e-(s)ai yields long ei (written EI in the Old Attic alphabet, before 403 BCE, and HI in other dialects); is usually given as the proper spelling in the texts of the tragic poets, whereas ei is printed in the texts of prose and comedy. ei was often written for hi () after 400 BCE, since both had the sound of a close long e. -ei is sometimes called Attic and Ionic in contrast to - of the other dialects, including the Koine.

Third Declension
Stems in the 3rd declension end either in consonants (hence the alternate name, "consonant declension"), or in the vowels -i and -u. The third declension shows much more variety than the 1st and 2nd declensions because some of its nouns have variable stems, with different forms of the stem appearing in different sets of cases, and some feature contraction of vowels in the endings.

Voc. or -w Plural Nom./Voc. -ew Gen. -vn Dat. -si(n) Acc. II. Accentuation: -aw -
Stems of one syllable (monosyllabic stems) accent the case ending in genitive and dative of all numbers; -vn takes the circumflex accent. The gen. plu. of paw is an exception to this rule. Singular Nom. aj Gen. agw Dat. ag Acc. aga paw paidw paid pada pa padew padvn paid-s(n) > pais(n) padaw 54

General Rules: A. for nouns ending in -p, -b, -f (labials) or -k, -g, -x (velars/palatals) These nouns use -w in the nom. and voc. singular and -a in the acc. Note that the presence of -w in the endings will result in double consonants in the nom. and voc. singular and dat. plural.

B. for nouns ending in -d, -y, -t (dentals) All dentals are lost before sigma: note the forms of the dative plural. Neuter nouns use no ending in nom. and voc. singular, and either the final tau is dropped (in accordance with the law that says a noun can end only in a vowel, -r, -n, or -w) or an alternative stem is used in nom. and voc. singular. The nom. acc. voc. plural form of the neuter has short a, like all neuter forms.

Third Declension
D. for nouns with irregular stem ending in -r The nouns patr, mthr, and yugthr have three visible stems: a strong-vowel stem ending in -thr, a short-vowel stem ending in -ter, and a weak grade (no vowel) ending in -tr (or -tra in dative plural, where -r- between consonants becomes -ra-). The strong-vowel appears in nom. sing.; the weak grade in gen. sing., dat. sing., and dat. pl; the short-vowel in acc. sing. and all plural cases except dat. Accentuation on these nouns in the nom. and voc. sing. is irregular: the voc. sing. of patr has recessive accentuation (pter), as do the nom. and voc. sing. of mthr (mthr, voc. mter) and of yugthr (yugthr, voc. ygater). Elsewhere the accent of these three words falls on the stem-ending -er- (or -ra- in dat. pl.) or on the case ending. For patr and mthr, the monosyllabic stem rule applies, while yugthr is treated similarly by analogy. The noun nr is similar: the strong-vowel stem appears in the nominative (nr), the short-vowel in the voc. sing. (ner), and the weak form in -r- in the other cases, where -d- is developed between -n- and -r-. The monosyllabic stem rule applies to nr, except that the nom. sing. and dat. plur. (based on disyllabic stems) are accented on the second syllable and the voc. sing. has recessive accent.

61
E. for nouns with stem ending in -ntThese nouns either: (1) use -w in the nom. and voc. singular, in which case the -nt drops out and the preceding vowel exhibits compensatory lengthening; or (2) use a strong-vowel (i.e., long vowel/diphthong) form of the stem without the tau (dropped for phonetic reasons) and with no ending in the nom. singular. The voc. sing. is either like the nom. (dow, voc. dow) or has the weak-vowel form of the stem with no ending (and final -t- is simply dropped) (ggaw, voc. ggan; grvn, voc. 2 gron). In the dat. plur., the ending -si causes elimination of -nt- and compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel: dnt-si(n) > dosi(n), ggant-si(n) > ggasi(n), gront-si(n) 2 > grousi(n).

psa stands for pantsa from pant-= ia. a 2 of pn (for pan(t)-) is irregular and borrowed from pw. The accents of pantw and pant follow the monosyllabic stem rule; pntvn and psi(n) don't. psi(n) is from pnt-si(n). pasn follows the usual pattern for first declension nouns (-n from -vn). Singular Nom. ew Gen. nw Dat. n Acc. na ma miw mi man n nw n n
The stem for ew, ma, n is sm (m with zero-grade vowel). The stem n is from sem- . Initial s before a vowel becomes the rough breathing. Original final m preceded by a vowel becomes n. ma stands for sm-a. ew is from n-w. The accent of nw and n follows the monosyllabic stem rule. Note the accent of the feminine genitive and dative, miw and mi. 63

F. for nouns with stems in i and u Stems in i and u vary with stronger stems, of which e in the cases other than nom., acc., and voc. sing. is a survival. ei and eu before vowels lost their i and u. i and u of diphthongs often disappear before a following vowel; they become semivowels, = and = , which are not written. i u So pole(= i)-i, pole(= i)-ew, which contract to plei and pleiw. There is also a stem in h, as in Homeric plh-ow, whence ple-vw, by transfer of quantity (quantitative metathesis). Dat. pl. ple-si for pli-si is due to the analogy of forms from stems in ei, eu. Final -vw of the genitive singular does not prevent the acute from standing on the antepenult: plevw retains the accent of the earlier plh-ow, which became plevw by transfer of quantity. The accent of the gen. pl. follows that of the gen. sing. Acc. pl. pleiw is probably borrowed from the nom. pl.

G. for nouns with stems in eu, au, ou: Stems in eu show pure form only in vocative; other forms are derived from the stronger stem hu. hu and 2 u before a consonant become eu, au, as in basilew, basilesi, from a basilhuw, basilhusi. Stems lose u before case endings beginning with a vowel, = (semivocallic u) passing into u W (vau, "digamma"). basilvw, basile, basila, basilaw come from basil(W)-ow, basil(W)-i, 2 2 basil(W)-a, basil(W)-aw, by transfer of quantity ("quantitative metathesis"). In basilvn, e is shortened from the h of basilvn (a long vowel may be shortened before another long vowel). Nominative plural of eu nouns in older Attic ended in -w (basilw), derived either from -ew by contraction or from -hw by transfer of quantity.

Aspect refers to how one views the action of the verb Sthat is, whether the action is viewed as completed vs. incomplete, customary vs. a single occurrence, a general truth vs. a specific occurrence. Present tense has an incomplete, customary, or habitual aspect; aorist tense conveys a completed or simple (i.e., one time occurrence) aspect. Note the difference between these two indicative sentences. C Mother takes her medication every day. (present time, customary aspect = present tense = lambnei) C I took a present to the party. (past time, simple aspect = aorist = labon) Outside of the indicative, aorist emphasizes aspect and does not refer to time. Note, for example, the difference between these two imperatives: C Mother, take your pill every day! (customary aspect = present imperative = lmbane) C Take the money and run! (simple aspect = aorist imperative = lbe) Note, lmbane and lbe are each translated into English by take! but that two different aspects are conveyed. Also, note that certain verbs denote a state of being or an action which by its nature is continuous; these verbs may require a somewhat different translation in the aorist to denote simple aspect (i.e., the action at a single moment in time). Often the aorist of such verbs refers to the single moment in time at which the subject enters in the state of being or begins the continuous action; these are called ingressive aorists.

In progress, mere occurrence, completed 1 st principal part: Progressive (imperfect) aspect stem Aorist: merely names action aorist or neutral aspect a-oristow = unlimited, indefinite, undefined time. Doesn't show limitation of continuance (expressed by imperfect) or of completion with permanent result (expressed by perfect) Perfect: completed action Progressive Past Present Future was teaching is teaching will be teaching Aorist-Neutral taught teaches will teach Perfective had taught has taught will have taught
Aorist = mere occurrence of action in past. Action regarded as event or single fact without reference to length of time it occupied. Uses of aorist may be explained by figure of point in time: 1. The starting point (ingressive aorist): "become ruler," "fell in love," "become silent" 2. The end point (resultative aorist) "I brought" 3. The whole action, concentrated to a point (complexive aorist) Aorist enumerates and reports past events. It may be employed in brief continuous narration. As a narrative tense it is often used to state the chief events and facts, while the other past tenses set forth subordinate actions and attendant circumstances. Greek aorists active and middle have no future Exist only as past tense Outside of the indicative, aorist emphasizes aspect and does not refer to time.

Most 2nd aorists belong to a type which has the weak vowel grade in the root and the accent originally on the thematic vowel. The accent on the thematic vowel has been regularized in the indicative, partially regularized in the imperative, and preserved in the infinitive and participle. 1. Indicative: temporal augment + aorist stem + thematic vowel + secondary personal endings. Accent is regular: that is, recessive. Note loss of intervocalic sigma in 2nd sing middle: lpeso > lpou 2. Imperative: aorist stem + thematic vowel + secondary personal endings. Accent is regular: that is, recessive; EXCEPT 2nd sing middle, lipso > lipo, where accent shifted to thematic vowel. NOTE: the accent of 2nd sing active imperative lab, ep, ly, er, d, has the accent shifted to thematic vowel; but this shift only applies to these five verbs. 3. Infinitive: note that the accent has shifted to the thematic vowel; this is the regular pattern in the second aorist. lipen > lipen 4. Participle: note that the accent has shifted to the thematic vowel; this is the regular pattern in the second aorist. As an adjective, the participle's accent is persistent.

The secondary endings of the 1st aorist active were originally added to the stem ending in -s- (athematic formation).

H. for nouns with stems in -sStems in sigma are contracted where -s- falls out between the vowel of the stem and the vowel of the ending. So, gnow (stem genes-), gen. gene(s)-ow gnouw, dat. gene(s)-i gnei. In a large group of neuter nouns the -es- ending appears in the o-grade form -ow in nom., acc., voc. sing., as in gnow. Neuters with stems in -as- (t graw) have -aw in these cases. Masc. and fem. acc. plu., when contracted, borrow the form of the contracted nom. plu. The acc. plu. -eiw is not derived from -eaw. In dat. plu., union of s of the stem and s of the ending produces ss, which is reduced to s without lengthening the preceding vowel. Masculine stems in es with nominative in -hw are proper names ( Svkrthw, Dhmosynhw); the feminine trirhw is an adjective used substantively ("triply fitted:" trirhw (naw), "ship with three banks of oars"). Proper nouns in -hw have recessive accent in the vocative. trirvn ( from trihr-vn) has irregular accent by analogy to the other forms.

Like BH, BF", B<, adjectives with u-stems have masculine and neuter forms of the 3 rd declension, with a separate set of forms for the feminine which inflect like a noun of the first declension ending in -a . The feminine is made from the stem of the masculine/neuter by adding the suffix -=a i (semivocalic i) to the e-grade stem, taxe = --=a. The masculine and neuter forms follow the u i pattern of nouns with stems in i and u. Masc. Singular Nom. Gen. Dat. Acc. Voc Plural Nom./Voc. Gen. Dat.
