Lesson XXVII - Adjectives of the Consonant Declension

S259. The feminine of Adjectives of the Consonant Declension, when it differs from the masculine, follows the A-Declension. It's nominative singular ends in α (short).

S260. Learn the declension of χαρίεις, graceful, πᾶς, all, and ἑκών, willing, in 752, and of the participle λύων, loosing, in 754. These have stems in ντ.

S261. The feminines of these adjectives is declined like θάλαττα (62).

S262. The nominative singular masculine ends in ς before which ντ is dropped and the preceding vowel lengthened (ε to ει and α to ᾱ), or rejects ς like γέρων (744). For the vocative singular masculine of χαρίεις and ἑκών, see 253.

S263. In the dative plural masculine and neuter of χαριεις, ε is not lengthened, although ντ is dropped. πᾶς lacks the vocative singular and dual. The forms πάντων and πᾶσι are irregular in accent (compare 244).
