Talk:Nemesis

Latin forms
Forms without * are mentioned in dictionaries, forms with * are assumed compared with its Greek origin or other Latin words, e.g. compare with ellipsis' dat. & abl. -i, acc. -in and -im (in Medieval Latin and Englishman Latin &c. there might also be acc. -em and abl. -e, but that's rather incorrect).
 * Nom. Nemesis
 * Gen. Nemesis; from Greek: Nemeseōs, Nemesios (Gen. -eos [without lengh mark] in "Plin. 11, 251" e.g. here, -is and -ios in L&S)
 * Dat. Nemesī
 * Acc. Nemesim; from Greek: Nemesin ("Plin. 28, 22" e.g. here)
 * Abl. *Nemesī
 * Voc. Nemesis ("Aus. Idyll. 8, 41." = "Auson. edyll. 8, 41. p. 18, 33 Schenkl."); from Greek would be *Nemesi, but might be unattested (for all 3rd declension words ending in sis in the nom. sg.)

As for the genitive -ios: It's mentioned in L&S with "id. [= Plin.] 11, 45, 103, § 251.". The linked edition above has -eos [without lengh mark] and editions at google books have -eos and not -ios too. There might be an edition with -ios, but it might also be an error in L&S.

As for the genitive -eōs/-eos: Greek has both -εως -eōs (Attic) and -εος -eos (Attic poetry because of metrics) - not the best source, but a source: Smyth's Greek Grammar in which it is "πόλε-ως [...] N. 1. – πόλε-ος in Attic poetry for the sake of the metre [...]"). In case of other words dictionaries often have -eos (not -eōs). For example, lexis has -eos in dictionaries (namely in Georges, Pons, LaNe, Gaffiot, L&S, L (withoug the S)) while it has -eōs in the English wiktionary. In case of Nemesis dictionaries have -eōs (Georges) and -eos (Pons, LaNe). Because Plinius' work is prose and not poetry I'd rather assume it's -eōs like in Georges, and furthermore Georges is more informative than Pons and might be more correct in this case. -84.161.24.115 23:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
