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.

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

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

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

4. The Genitive Plural in -m: ekwa-m

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

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