Question 7

1A

Answer 7

TYPE la nouns have endings in s. and pl. exactly like the f. def. art. (see 8).

Question 8

1b

Answer 8

Replace the -n with a (pronounced LONG) all the way through the s. This is because their stem ends in ρ, ε, or I.

They usually have a long final a in the nom./voc. and acc. s., and always have a long a in the gen. and dat. s. and acc. Pl.

Question 9

1c

Answer 9

Show-a in the ending of the nom. and acc. s. (pronounced short);
Switch to n in the gen. (-ης) and dat. s. (-1: contrast TYPE 1b nouns):
Usually have a stem ending in o or a double consonant: but note τόλμ-α-ης ‘daring’ (1c).

Question 10

1d

Answer 10

Take endings which look suspiciously f., except for the gen. s. in -oυς nothing for it but to learn it accurately.

Some Id nouns end in nom. -ας, e.g. νεανί-ας, ‘young man’.

You will, however, observe that the pl. endings of ALL type 1 nouns follow exactly the same pattern, and that they are also the same as the f. pl. endings of adjectives like καλός [10].
