Second Declension
The second declension includes masculine nouns ending in -us or -er, and neuter nouns ending in -um.
Example The word "bellum" (war) is declined in the neuter form as bellum (nominative/vocative/accusative), belli (genitive), bello (dative/ablative).
Adjectives
The page also covers first-class adjectives, which follow the first and second declension patterns.
Example The adjective "bonus" (good) is declined in masculine, feminine, and neuter forms, such as bonus, bona, bonum (nominative singular).
