# Chapter 10 — Third Declension Parsing Drill

BBG Chapter 10 · Third Declension

Parse each form: Case (N/G/D/A), Number (S/P), Gender (M/F/N), Lexical Form, and Translation.

Tip: Find the stem by removing -ος from the genitive singular. Key endings: Gen Sg = -ος; Dat Sg = -ι; Nom/Acc Pl (neut.) = -α; Dat Pl = -σι(ν). The article disambiguates when forms are identical.
