In this lesson, we focus on the vocabulary of feminine nouns belonging to the first declension h-type. These nouns, characterized by their ending in 'η,' are essential for understanding Greek grammar. Students will learn the declension patterns, gender indicators, and the importance of the genitive ending. The lesson emphasizes practicing stems and endings while noting accent rules, including unique cases for genitives. By adding articles and morphological distinctions on vocabulary cards, learners will solidify their understanding of feminine nouns in Greek.

Vocabulary # 88 • All the words in today’s vocabulary are feminine nouns of the first declension. • They all end in &h, so they belong to the first declension h-type. • The h appears in the endings throughout the singular (see handout). • To indicate the declension pattern and gender on your vocabulary cards, add the genitive ending and feminine article to each entry. • avrch, &hj( h` • grafh, &hj( h`
First Declension &h Type • Put down stem 10 times and add endings. • Accent is “persistent” – tries to stay where it starts. • Exception: Gen. pl. in 1st declension always gets circumflex on ultima – no matter where it started in dictionary form. • In fwnh,, acute on ultima changes to circumflex in gen. and dat. (oxytone rule). • In kw,mh, acute on penult changes to circumflex when ultima goes short in nom. and voc. pl. (circumflex rule # 8).
