Declensions
Because grammars of the modern Greek language differ in the naming of noun declensions, identification systems are not used here. They are categorised below by gender and lemma ending.

Subdivision occurs between oxytone, paroxytone and proparoxytone terms - depending upon the position of the stressed vowel.

Further differences happen between parisyllabic and imparisyllabic nouns (parisyllabic nouns have the same number of syllables in all forms, imparisyllabic nouns do not).


 * ός indicates oxytone forms - stressed on the last syllable (e.g. ).
 * ΄ος indicates paroxytone forms - stressed on the penultimate syllable (e.g. ).
 * ΄-ος indicates proparoxytone forms - stressed on the antepenultimate syllable (e.g. ).

Naming of declension-table templates
This methodology has been used in naming the noun declension-table templates, which follow the general format:

example: el-nF-η-εις-2b.
 * el  for Greek all templates
 * -nF  for feminine nouns (-nM for masculine and -nN for neuter)
 * -η  the ending of the nominative singular
 * -εις  the ending of the nominative plural
 * -2b  the stress position(s) as indicated below.
 * -1  for oxytone nouns such as ουρανός.
 * -2a  for paroxytone nouns such as πατέρας with constant stress position throughout the declension.
 * -2b  for paroxytone nouns such as μήνας where the stress position moves in the course of the declension.
 * -3a  for proparoxytone nouns such as κάστανο with constant stress position throughout the declension.
 * -3b  for proparoxytone nouns such as παράγοντας where the stress position moves in the course of the declension.
