I have a simple question about spelling:
We are in the 5th chapter of Christiana (book 1) and I am having trouble figuring out how to spell the last 3 words in the declensions. For example: (first declension) aqua.....................aquae aquae...................aquarum aquae...................aquais....or maybe aquas or aquis?? aquarum................aquaas....or aquas?? aqua.....................aquais....or as noted above? I am not sure how to make the changes when the word ends have vowels in them. filia..........filiae filiae........filiarum filiae........filis?? or filiis? filiam........filias?? filia...........filis?? Is there a simple rule that I am missing?? Thanks. KellyJo |

I believe the correct declension of aqua would be as follows:
aqua............aquae aquae..........aquarum aquae..........aquis aquam.........aquas aqua...........aquis As for "filia," I checked several websites and this is what they all said: Declension of filia filia...........filiae filiae..........filiarum filiae..........filiabus filiam.........filias filia...........filiabus It is irregular. If you google "latin declension of filia" you can find them. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Elizabeth in NC |
