Declension
Greek πάσχα was neuter and invariable in form; the Latin word is found with various declension patterns and genders.


 * Inflection as a neuter noun of the first declension (spelled in the nominative, accusative and ablative singular as pascha, in the dative and genitive singular as paschae, and taking neuter agreement) although unique, is attested in a number of Christian sources. In sources where the genitive/dative singular is unattested, the nominative/accusative/ablative singular forms could instead be interpreted as examples of an invariable declension.


 * The alternative third-declension stem paschat- (as in the genitive singular form paschatis) was presumably created by analogy to third-declension neuter nouns from Greek that end in -ma and have stems in -mat-.


 * It can also be found as a feminine first-declension noun, inflected regularly.


 * The word is rarely found in the plural (some grammarians describe the plural as lacking); however, a neuter plural form pascha is attested in the commentary of Jerome on the book of Isiah ("tria pascha").
