View source for Triparic Word Patterns

== General Note ==

The following patterns are '''guidelines'''.  They are not hard-and-fast rules.  If the language committee really hates the result of one of these rules, they will try to fix the rules to produce better results, but ultimately a word may be mangled in whatever way we like to make it properly triparik. 

== Words Imported from Latin ==

=== Nouns ===

==== First Declension (genitives in -ae) ====

* Default: Just use the nom. sing.
**''persōna'' > '''persona''' (not the standard triparik word, which is '''perz''')
**''cūria'' > '''curia'''

==== Second Declension (-i) ====

* Default: Just use the abl. sing ({{ab|-o}}).
**''ager, agri'' > '''agro''' (not in the current dictionary at all, but another good example)
**''liber, libri'' > '''libro'''
**''centrum, -i'' > '''centro'''
**''pugnus, -i'' > '''pugno'''
**''quantus, -i'' > '''quanto'''

==== Third Declension (-is) ====

* Genitives in {{ab|-ātis}} drop the {{ab|-tis}}:
** ''maiestās, -ātis'' > '''majesta''' (not the recognized Triparik word for this, which is '''machisto''')
** ''dīplōma, -ātis'' > '''diploma'''
* Genitives in {{ab|-oris}} drop the {{ab|-ris}}:
** ''tempus, -oris'' > '''tempo'''
** ''arbor, -oris'' > '''arbo'''
* Nouns in nominative {{ab|-x}} which expand to stop + {{ab|-ēs}} in plural and stop + {{ab|-is}} in genitive use that stop + '''-e'''
** ''lēx (lēgēs), lēgis'' > '''lege'''
** ''nox (noctēs), noctis'' > '''nocte'''
* Default: Drop {{ab|-is}} from genitive and add '''-e''' to it.
** ''equester, -tris'' > '''equestre''' (not the recognized Triparik word for this, which was '''equester''')

==== Fourth Declension (-ūs) ====

* Default: Replace genitive {{ab|-ūs}} with '''-o''': ''manus, -ūs'' > '''mano'''; ''porticus, -ūs'' > '''portico'''

==== Fifth Declension (-eī) ====

* Default: ?
