==Lesson==
Various irregular forms exist, however most feminine and masculine nouns follow the same standard pattern with a variable nominative case.
The stem of the verb noun is seen in the genitive case, not the nominative case.
The paradigm is as follows: '''variable ος ι α ες ων σι ας'''
For example the feminie noun [[ελπις]] (hope) declines as follows
* {{Greek Noun|ελπις (Nom, Sing)* |ελπιδος (Gen, Sing)* |ελπιδα (Dat, Sing)* |ελπιδι (Acc, Sing)* |ελπιδες (Nom, Plu)* |ελπιδων (Gen, Plu)* |ελπισι (Dat, Plu)* |ελπιδας (Acc, Plu)}}
In the plural dative form of these nouns the stem is sometimes modified
For example, σωμα (body) declines like this
* {{Greek Noun|σωμα (Nom, Sing)* |σωματος (Gen, Sing)* |σωματι (Dat, Sing)* |σωμα (Acc, Sing)* |σωματα (Nom, Plu)* |σωματων (Gen, Plu)* |σωμασι (Dat, Plu)* |σωματα (Acc, Plu)}}
The second main group consists of those like [[σκοτος]] (darkness) that end in '''ος'''. The paradigm is as follows: '''ος ους ει ος η ων εσι η'''
For example, σκοτος (darkness) declines like this:
* {{Greek Noun|σκοτος * |σκοτους * |σκοτει * |σκοτος * |σκοτη * |σκοτων * |σκοτεσι * |σκοτη}}
