GREEK NOUNS.

466. Greek stems in #-o-# are generally declined like Latin nouns, but

in the singular sometimes have #-os# in the nominative, #-on# in the

nominative or accusative neuter, rarely #-ū# in the genitive, or #-ō# in

the feminine ablative. Plural, nominative sometimes #-oe#, masculine or

feminine, and genitive, chiefly in book-titles, #-ōn#: as,

Nominative #Īlios#; #Īlion# or #Īlium#. Genitive #Menandrū#, _of

Menander_. Ablative feminine adjective #lectīcā octōphorō#, _in a sedan

with eight bearers_. Plural: nominative #Adelphoe#, _the Brothers_;

#canēphoroe#, _basket-bearers_, feminine. Genitive #Geōrgicōn liber#,

_book of Husbandry_. For #Androgeōs#, #Athŏ̄s# and #Panthūs#, see the

dictionary.
