Some ending in _t_ while they form the genitive in _te_, part with a
vowel, as follows:

_N._ Arit, Ant.
_G._ Arte,
_D. and A._ Arta,
_V._ Arit;
_A._ Artze, in,
Arde, by,
Artema, with ant.

Nónoguat, father, belongs to this declension, and forms the genitive
nónauhte; but when preceded by a possessive pronoun, it loses the
final guat, as has been stated, and the termination is left in _o_, to
form the genitive in the first declension, as, no, my, no nónoque, of
my father, which rule applies equally to other names of kindred.

Sometimes an ablative is formed in _u_, as teópatu, in the church,
from teópa, hecátu, in the shade, from hecát.

Substantives of the Third Declension end in _s_, _r_, _z_, and form
the genitive by the addition of _e_, and the accusative by _i_.

_N._ Utzvor, Pitahaya.
_G._ Utzv[=o]re,
_D. and A._ Utzvori,
_V._ Utzvor,
_A._ Utzvortze, in,
Utzvorde, by,
