1. Determine the declension of following nouns. Use the “Inflectio nominalis” scheme.
Remember that indicator of declension is an ending in Gen.sg. E.g.: inflecio, onis –
Gen.sg. “is”, ergo it is III declension. Res, rei – Gen.sg. is “ei”, ergo it is V declension.
Noun in vocabulary form

2. Determine the base of following nouns. Remember that to do this, you should first of
all determine declension, then simply cut off an ending of Gen.sg. from the second
vocabulary form. For example: ratio, onis – Gen.sg. rationis – the base is ration;
ganglion, i – Gen.sg. ganglii – the base is gangli. Also see § 19-21 (p. 80–83) in
Chernyavsky for some clues about using vocabulary form of a noun.
