Third Declension Nouns

• You must look up the gender (they can be
  masculine, feminine, or neuter)
• You must look up the genitive, as only it can
  tell you the stem
• Knowing the stem of a third declension noun is
  important, because the nominative and genitive
  can often look quite different
• See the rules on page 18 of the grammar, and
  examples on pages 16 and 17
