4 Hints for 3rd declension nouns:
- 1. Memorize the genitive singular form along with the lexical form.. if you drop the genitive singular case ending, you will normally have the word's stem.
- 2. whatever happens in the nominative singular (sigma) also happens in the dative plural. This is because the dative plural case ending (sigma iota) also begins with a sigma.
- 3. a nu drops out when followed by a sigma.
- 4. a tau drops out when followed by a sigma or if it is at the end of a word.
