All masculine and feminine nouns ending in -us, and all neuters ending in -um, that have the genitive in -i, belong to the second declension, and are declined like servus or scamnum, thus:─
  dominus -i m., a master.
  regnum -i n., a kingdom.
singular
Nom. domin-us a master regn-um a kingdom
Gen. domin-i of a master regn-i of a kingdom
Dat. domin-o to a master regn-o to a kingdom
Acc. domin-um a master regn-um a kingdom
Abl. domin-o by a master regn-o by a kingdom
Voc. domin-e master! regn-um kingdom!
plural
Nom. domin-i masters regn-a kingdoms
Gen. domin-ōrum of masters regn-ōrum of kingdoms
Dat. domin-is to masters regn-is to kingdoms
Acc. domin-os masters regn-a kingdoms
Abl. domin-is by masters regn-is by kingdoms
Voc. domin-i masters! regn-a kingdoms!
The accusative and vocative cases of all neuter nouns have the same form as the nominative in both numbers. These cases in the plural moreover always end in -a, hence the double form of the second declension.
 (1) Some nouns of this declension end in -er, these add the case endings to the nominative uncontracted, thus:─
  puer -eri m., a boy.
singular
Nom. puer
Gen. puer-i
Dat. puer-o
Acc. puer-um
Abl. puer-o
Voc. puer
plural
Nom. puer-i
Gen. puer-ōrum
Dat. puer-is
Acc. puer-os
Abl. puer-is
Voc. puer-i
Like puer are declined the following:─
 gener -eri m., a son-in-law.
 socer -eri m., a father-in-law.
 presbyter -eri m., an elder.
 adulter -eri m., an adulterer.
 fūrcifer -eri m., a rogue.
 armiger -eri m., an esquire.
 Līber -eri m., Bacchus.
 Mulciber -eri m., Vulcan.
 Lūcifer -eri m., the morning star.
 Ibēr Ibēri m., a Spaniard.
 līberi ōrum m.pl., children.
All other nouns in er drop the e of the nominative in the oblique cases, thus:─
  ager -gri m., a field.
singular
Nom. ager
Gen. agr-i
Dat. agr-o
Acc. agr-um
Abl. agr-o
Voc. ager
plural
Nom. agr-i
Gen. agr-ōrum
Dat. agr-is
Acc. agr-os
Abl. agr-is
Voc. agr-i
 (2) A few nouns in -ir belong to the second declension of which vir gen. viri, a man, is the most common: these are all declined like puer.
 (3) Generally the vocative case of all nouns is like the nominative; it will be observed, however, that nouns of the second declension in -us make the vocative in -e, as dominus, voc. domine. There are, nevertheless, some exceptions to this rule; thus, the vocative singular of filius -i m., a son; genius -ii m., a genius, and of proper names in -ius, drop the e as filius, voc. fili (for filie); Georgius -ii m., George, voc. Georgi (for Georgie); but all other nouns in -ius retain the e, as tabellarius -ii m., a letter carrier, voc. tabellarie. The poets, it is true, sometimes, and more rarely, the prose writers, make the vocative in -us; thus, Virgil has fluvius Latinus! and Livy has audi tu populus! but this is only to be observed in reading, not in writing.
 (4) The noun Deus, God, makes the voc. sing, like the nom,, and in the plu. is declined thus:─
plural
Nom. dei, dii, di
Gen. deorum, deum
Dat. deis, diis, dis
Acc. deos
Abl. deis, diis, dis
Voc. dei, dii, di
 (5) The genitive plural is often contracted from -orum into -um, especially in verse, dominum for dominōrum.
 (6) With the exception of names of countries, trees, and plants, nouns in -us of this declension are all masculine; those in -um are all neuter.
 (7) Greek nouns that have the genitive in -i or -o belong to the second declension, and are declined thus:─
  Dēlos -i f., one of the Cyclades.
  Athōs -o m., a mountain in Macedon.
  Ilion -o/-i n., Troy.
Nom. Dēl-os Ath-os Ili-on
Gen. Dēl-i Ath-o, i Ili-o, i
Dat. Dēl-o Ath-o Ili-o
Acc. Dēl-on, um Ath-on, o Ili-on, um
Abl. Dēl-o Ath-o Ili-o
Voc. Dēl-os, e Ath-os Ili-on, um
These nouns have -on in the genitive plural, as barbiton -o/-i n., a harp; nom. plu. barbita, gen. barbiton, dat. barbitis, acc. barbita, abl. barbitis, voc. barbita.
