Second Declension.
In this Declension, when the Article is ex-»
pressed, all Mutable initial Consonants, except
>f, must be aspirated in the Nominative and
Accusative Singular; the Genitive retains its
natural pewer; and if the initial Consonant be
of the influenced class, its peculiar eclipsing
letter must be prefixed in the dative.
In the plural, the leading Consonant preserves
its natural power in all the Cases, except the
Genitive in which Case it must be eciipsed,
if it be of the influenced Class.
