Nouns in -us, particularly in early Latin, often form the Genitive Singular in -i, following the analogy of nouns in -us of the Second Declension; as, senati, ornati. This is usually the case in Plautus and Terence. 2. Nouns in -us sometimes have -u in the Dative Singular, instead of -ui; as, fructu (for fructui). 3. The ending -ubus, instead of -ibus, occurs in the Dative and Ablative Plural of artus (Plural), _limbs_; tribus, _tribe_; and in dis-syllables in -cus; as, artubus, tribubus, arcubus, lacubus. But with the exception of tribus, all these words admit the forms in -ibus as well as those in -ubus. 4. Domus, _house_, is declined according to the Fourth Declension, but has also the following forms of the Second:-- domi (locative), _at home_; domo, _from home_; domum, _homewards_, _to one's home_; domos, _homewards_, _to their_ (etc.) _homes_ 5. The only Neuters of this declension in common use are: cornu, _horn_; genu, _knee_; and veru, _spit_. Exceptions to Gender in the Fourth Declension. 50. The following nouns in -us are Feminine: acus, _needle_; domus, _house_; manus, _hand_; porticus, _colonnade_; tribus, _tribe_; Idus (Plural), _Ides_; also names of trees (Sec. 15, 2). * * * * * FIFTH DECLENSION. e-Stems. 51.
