Most Nouns in -ō form Gen. in -ōnĭs: but those in -dō, -gō have -ĭnĭs. So also hŏmō̆, hŏmĭn-ĭs (m. or f.) human being.

§ 23. (1) Parisyllabic. sĕdīl-ĕ seat, Gen. sĕdīl-ĭs.

Like sĕdīlĕ are declined Neuter Nouns ending in -ăl, -ăr which were originally Parisyllabic and ended in -ālĕ, -ārĕ, ex.: ănĭmăl, Gen. ănĭmāl-ĭs living thing, animal.
