  3. First Declension Mixed Type • The following words are 1st declension feminine nouns of mixed type: • glw/ssa &hj( h` • do,xa &hj( h` • qa,llasa &hj( h` • When 1st declension nouns end in &a not preceded by e( i( or r, the a changes to h in the gen. and dat. sing.

  4. First Declension Mixed Type • Note that endings of gen. and dat. sing. follow the h&type – elsewhere they follow the a-type. • Gen. pl. still gets automatic circumflex on ultima. • Circumflex on glw/ssa is by circumflex rule # 8; changes to acute whenever ultima goes long by rule #7. • In qa,lassa( acute on antepenult shifts to penult whenever ultima goes long.

  5. First Declension “Mixed-Up” Type • The following are 1st-declension masculine nouns of “mixed-up” type: • maqhth,j &ou( o` • profh,thj &ou( o` • neani,aj &ou( o` - youth, young man (add to list) • Nouns of this type are masculine and take the masculine article. (It will look like a mismatch.) • They decline like 1st-declension feminines, except in nom., gen., and voc. sing.

  6. First Declension “Mixed-Up” Type • profh,thjresembles h-type except in nom., gen., and voc. sing. • neani,aj resembles a-type except in nom., gen., and voc. sing. • Gen. sing. ending -ou is borrowed from 2nd declension. • Voc. sing. of profh,thj is one of few that are not like nom. • Gen. pl. still gets automatic circumflex on ultima. • Circumflexes on profh/ta and profh/tai are by circumflex rule # 8. • Agreement will look strange: o` profh,thj( oi` profh/tai( to.n profh,thn( tou.j profh,taj( ktl)

  7. Homework for Wednesday 1. Study Lesson 16 and make vocabulary cards. 2. Practice declining do,xa and maqhth,j (make your own grid): a. do,xa – declines like glw/ssa or qa,lassa except for accent (only change is in gen. pl.) b. maqhth,j – declines like profh,thj except for accent (oxytone rule: changes to circumflex in interior cases). 3. Exercises # 112. 4. Read Lesson 17.
