4.4.3. The Plural in the Third Declension

1. The following table presents the plural paradigm of the a-Declension, all of them animates.

	Animate
NOM.	-s
ACC.	-ms
VOC.	-s
GEN.	-m
OBL.	-bhis, -bhos; -mis, -mos; -si; ais-i, ais-i
The obliques can also be specialized in
Dat.-Abl.	-bhios / -mos; ais-i, ais-i
Loc.	-si, -su, -se; ais-i, ais-i
Ins.	-bhis / -mis

2. The Nominative-Vocative Plural in -s: eķwa-s.

This form could obviously be confused with the Genitive Singular. In equivocal contexts we change preferably the accent ( eķwa-s, eķwa-ms, eķwa-m).

3. The Accusative Plural in -ms: eķwa-ms

4. The Genitive Plural in -m: eķwa-m

5. The Obliques Plural in -bhis, -bhos, -bhios, -mis, -mos and -si: eķwa-bhis, eķwa-bhos, eķwa-mis, eķwa-mos, eķwa-si, eķwa-su

The Obliques have also special forms in Greek, -aisi, -ais, and Latin -ais: as in lat. rosis<*rosais.
