[ LESSON IX]
THE SECOND OR O-DECLENSION
[70.] Latin nouns are divided into five declensions.
The declension to which a noun belongs is shown by the ending of the genitive singular. This should always be learned along with the nominative and the gender.
[71.] The nominative singular of nouns of the Second or O-Declension ends in -us, -er, -ir, or -um. The genitive singular ends in -ī.
[72.] Gender. Nouns in -um are neuter. The others are regularly masculine.
