Nouns.-Fifth Declension. 167. NOUNS of the Fifth Declension have the genitive singular in e, and the nominative in ēs. * 168. Nouns of this declension are feminine, except dies, a day, masculine and feminine in the singular, * In the ending of the gen. and dat. sing. e is long, except in spěi (where it is short), fidei, and rei (where it is common). and masculine only in the plural; and mĕrīdiēs, midday, masculine. REM. The fifth declension comprises only a few words, and of these few, only two,—diēs, a day, and rēs, a thing, are complete in the plural. 169.
