ABSTRACT

In Latin we say, ‘Equits albus currit’—the white horse runs ‘; in the plural,’ Equi albi currunt.’ The termination of the noun indicates the declension, case, and number ; of the adjective, the gender, case, and number in agreement with the noun ; of the verb, the tense, number, and person. The terminations of the noun and adjective are the same ; that of the verb is different and has no relation to them.
