Third Declension ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Third declension nouns have stems that end (1) in a consonant or (2) in a vowel, generally ι, υ, or ευ.

Notes on the formation of the vocative singular - if the stem ends in a mute letter such as φύλαξ or a liquid letter (λ,μ,ν,ρ) AND IS ACCENTED ON THE FINAL SYLLABLE, then the vocative is the same as the nominative. -Nouns not accented on the last syllable, and all other nouns in the third declension have the vocative like the stem. -exception Nouns with stems ending in ιδ (έλιπίς) form the vocative by dropping the final consonant -exception The vocative for σωτήρ is σῶτερ.

Dative plural - When σι is added to the dative plural the same consonantal changes occur that happened in the nominative singular.
