more specific about Latin plural

| Jan 25, 2014 at 22:46 | comment | added | BRPocock | Latin declensions are found by looking at the genitive, given as the second word form in a Latin dictionary, and/or are simply memorized. Long vowels in Latin may be written under a macron, eg. status → statūs, but this is inconsistent usage across time, place, et al. and is often omitted. | |

O tempora, o mores! (Ciceronian citation because that’s the only other third declension noun I could quickly (tempus fugit) think of that people might generally recognize.) | |
