DECLENSION.
Substantives of the First Declension form their genitive in _que_, and
usually are such as terminate in a vowel.
_Nominative_, Siib?, hawk,
_Genitive_, S?iib?que, of hawk,
_Dative_, Siibt, to hawk,
_Accusative_, Siib?e, hawk,
_Vocative_, Siib?, hawk,
_Ablative_, Sib?tze, in \
Sib?de, by > hawk.
Sib?quema, with /
The plural of substantives (requiring a special notice) will be
treated of hereafter. Substantives of the Second Declension form their
genitive in _te_ and _t_.
_N._ Mavirot, Lion.
_G._ Mavirote,
_D. and A._ Mav?rota,
_V._ Mav?rot,
_A._ Mav?rotze, in,
Mav?rode, by,
Mav?rotema, with lion.
The verb-noun hi?sguadauh, painting, is thus declined.

_D. and A._ Hi?sguadauhta,
_Ab._ Hi?sguadautze, in,
Hi?sguadauhde, by,

And so likewise decline the preterite passive hi?sguacauh, and the

But verbs in the present time, when they serve as substantives, are
thus declined
