| | Normally the standard endings of the Latin first declension present little problem (Rosa, Rosae, Rosae, Rosam, Rosa, etc.) and it is one of the first and hence most familiar of the Latin paradigms presented to the beginning student. | | | Plural endings follow the standard case endings for the first declension: that is -ae, -arum, -is, -as,-is, as presented in the standard paradigm above. | | | The problem with this word is what the singular might be, other than the nominative or ablative, which are the same (raphe), and the accusative (raphem). |

| | Interestingly, one of the citations in this Perseus entry is to a line of Plautus in which we find the accusative singular polypum, a second declension form (the third declension form would be polypoda). | | | Plautus was very familiar with Greek - indeed, his plays contain many pasages in Greek - so he was surely not ignorant of the Greek form. | | | For instance, Greek &; "punchbowl" is a third declension consonant stem noun with accusative singular κρατῆρα. |
