ORDER II.

Including the Greek national possessives, the exact declension of which I have not been able to illustrate by examples, and the amount of the numerical letters in each. *

*The possessives in this order are those which I have found only in the masculine or neuter gender, and consequently I have not been able to determine in what way they are declined, as, for example, whether it be ὁ καὶ ἡ Αἰσονεῖος, καὶ τὸ Αὐσονεῖον, οι Αὐσονεῖος, Αυσονεῖα, Αυσονεῖον, or both ways. But thus much is certain, that the feminine possessives in this order must terminate in og or a, or both.
