Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the contracted genitive singular and plural case forms of Latin nouns and adjectives, with particular attention to deus, is, and idem. The author begins by tracing the history of the genitive singular in Latin, noting that the form with -i was the only one in use in early Latin. The author then discusses the various theories that have been proposed to explain the origin of the -i ending, and argues that it is likely that -i was originally a genitive-locative ending that was later specialized as a genitive ending. The author also examines the evidence for the contraction of the dative and ablative plural forms of deus, is, and idem, and argues that the contracted forms were in common use in the early period. The author concludes by discussing the implications of their findings for our understanding of the history of the Latin language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
