§ 45. Declension of the Numerals.—For the declension of ūnus see § 29.
Dŭŏ two, and trēs three are thus declined:—
| M. | F. | N. | |
| N.V. | dŭŏ | dŭae | dŭŏ |
| A. | dŭŏ or dŭōs | dŭās | dŭŏ |
| G. | dŭōrum | dŭārum | dŭōrum |
| D. Abl. | dŭōbŭs | dŭābŭs | dŭōbŭs |
Ambō both is declined like duŏ, except that the o is long. Duŏ (not ambō) has sometimes G. in -um, duum, of all genders. Comp. § 268.
| M. F. | N. | |
| N.V. A. | trēs | trĭă |
| G. | trĭum | |
| D. Abl. | trĭbŭs | |
The Cardinals from quattŭŏr to centum are indeclinable.
Dŭcenti, etc., are declined like the Pl. of Adjectives in -us.
Mīllĕ is indeclinable in the Sing.: in the Plur. (as dŭŏ mīlĭă two thousand) it is declined as a Neut. Noun; thus:
| N.V. A. | mīlĭă[1] |
| G. | mīlĭum |
| D. Abl. | mīlĭbŭs |
- ↑ Not millia.
Ordinals are declined like Adjectives in -ŭs, -ă, -um; Distributives like the Plur. of such Adjectives.
PRONOUNS.
§ 46. Pronouns are of six kinds:
- Personal Pronouns, used instead of Nouns, to show the person spoken of; as tū thou, nōs we.
- Possessive Pronouns, used as Adjectives, to show the person who possesses the thing named; as tŭŭs thy, thine, nostĕr our, ours.
