Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Latin Third Declension: A Study in Metaplasm and Syncretism

The Latin third declension has been selected as the basis for a discussion of metaplasm for the reason that it is a typical instance of such declensional amalgamation. In addition to the presentation of facts bearing directly upon this subject, an effort has been made to discuss the relations of the third declension to the corresponding systems of other languages. The treatment of syncretism is of a more general nature, including the phenomena of all declensions and of the Italic, Latin, and oscan-umbrian periods. In the third section, it has been my endeavor to discuss in detail the origins of the case endings peculiar to each lan guage and to define the metaplastic and syncretic effects, whet ever manifested.

The following authorities have been consulted with greater or less frequency.
