The vocative case is identical with the nominative in all declensions except for certain words in the second declension masculine singular.
The locative case should be studied separately. | Most nouns in the first declension are feminine, except for a few proper nouns and those that describe jobs or occupations. There are no neuters.
Most nouns in the second declension are masculine or neuter, though a very few feminine nouns use masculine endings.
The third declension includes nearly half of all nouns in Latin. Between the first three declensions over 95% of all nouns in Ecclesiastical Latin are presented.
Most nouns in the fourth declension are masculine, a few neuters take their own endings, and a very few feminine nouns herein use masculine endings.
Most nouns in the fifth declension are feminine, but a few masculine nouns use the same endings. There are no neuters. The fourth and fifth declensions are very small but they contain some important nouns for ecclesiastical usage.
