Note to Instructors

and E. Wampuszyc

The plural form of nominative virile masculine nouns is highly irregular. Students will need to know the following principles:

· case
· noun stem
· hard consonants, soft consonants and hardened consonants.
· the difference between non-virile masculine nouns and virile masculine nouns
· fleeting vowel
· alternations

It is also helpful if students know the vocabulary for nationalities and professions.

These exercises require the student to apply the explained rules and form the Virile Masculine Nominative Plural forms. Alternations are provided as necessary. Vocabulary has been chosen to provide illustrative examples for this grammar topic.
