When the noun
h'S^xh
is declined,
as
in
foregoing
lesson,
vithout
the
article, initial b in
the genitive
case singular
is
not affected in any way
;
but declined
with
the article,
as
in
p.
268,
it
becomes
aspirated, thus altering
its
sound
from
b
to ?«. (Tlie rules for, and reasons of this
change
are found
in
"
Easy
Lessoiis,"
Part I.,
observation
i.,
p.
31,
second
edition.)
Again,
in the
dative
or prepositional
case singular
(not
the
plural)
b in
bi\]tb,
and
c
in corr)]u\c,
are
eclipsed
each by
a
cognate letter, b
by
nj
;
c by
5,
because
the
noun
in
the singular number affected
by
the article
and
governed
by a preposition suffers
eclipsis
in its
initial
or first
consonant
when it is
not either
I, tt),
1;,
or
]i. (See
Twentieth
Lesson,
Part
II.
general rule,
p.
108.)
In the genitive plural also,
eclipsis
takes
place
when
nouns are affected
by
the article.
{See
Twenty-first
Lesson,
Obs. iii.,
p.
115.)
The declension of
a
noun with the
article
is the
same
as
that
without
the
article. Attention
to aspiration
and
eclipsis
supplies
the
initial changes.

cases of nouns
of
each declension

The ending
of the
genitive case is the
only means
by
which
a
person
can
know whether
a noun terminating in a
vowel is
of the fifth
declension.
If
a noun of this
class un-
dergoes
no
inflection,
it
is then of the
fourth. Any
difficulty
on this head is
removed by
the accompanying list of all the
nouns in the
language
belonging
to
the fifth declension.
