JXote the Ablative wilhout a Prcposition, properly meaning ' from,' but here to be translated by ' of ' ; so in § 12 and § 6 we might translate lii>er scholit

Third Declension— ^-^/'///^/^«f.f^.

NouNS LiKE ' Pax,' ' Aestas,' etc. A great many nouns of the ^rd Declension differ from those aheady learned by addifig afi s to the Noinifiatii;* Singu/ar ; thus from the stem 'pac-' we get the Nominative Singular 'pac-s' (written with the letter x for cs) ; but the other cases are formed from the stem ' pac-.' When the stem ends in a / (or d), this lettcr disappears in the Nominative Singular when the s is added, but not in the oilier cases. Thus we dcchne —

1, 2 p5x aesta s niile-s virtil-s

3 pac cni aestatem militem virtut-em

4 pac-is aestat-is milit-is virtut-is
