In this discussion, I will be looking at the demonstrative pronoun "this", and its use when learning the declensions. This talk discusses the first declension singular, using the example of MUSA, in adddition to some other examples.

I am giving the cases in the following order:

Nominative
Vocative

Accusative
Ablative

Dative
Genetive

The accompanying image is written in a variant of Old Roman Cursive, based on texts from Vindolanda.

I have used the following notation for accents and vowel length - a macron with an acute attached < for an acute accented long vowel, a small u for the breve (short vowel) , and a __ (macron) for an unaccented long vowel.
