Declensions are divided into simple and contracted.
Of simple declensions, there are four: of which four first are called “parisyllabic”, because the oblique cases are equal in number with the Nominative case; if words are declined, without dialects and poetic licenses; as Aineias, Aineiou; time, times; logos, logou. Those other declensions shall be imparisyllabic, when when evenly by in the fifth, the oblique cases some Nominative number of syllables exceed, as: Ainei’as, Ainei’ao, lo’gos, lo’goio. But of dialects this no is to be had rule.
