Substantives and adjectives accent, in the oblique cases, the same syllable as is accented in the nominative, provided the ultima permits ( ^cross163); otherwise the following syllable receives the accent.

1 decl. θάλαττα, θαλάττης, θαλάττῃ, θάλατταν, θάλατται ( ^cross169), θαλάτταις, θαλάττα_ς.

2 decl. ἄνθρωπος, ἀνθρώπου, ἀνθρώπῳ, ἄνθρωπον, ἄνθρωποι ( ^cross169), ἀνθρώπων, ἀνθρώποις, ἀνθρώπους.

3 decl. λέων, λέοντος, λέοντι, λέοντα, λέοντες, λεόντων.

Adj.: ἄξιος ( ^cross287), ἀξία_, ἄξιον, ἀξίου, ἀξία_ς, ἀξίῳ, ἀξίᾳ, ἀξίων, ἀξίοις. χαρίεις ( ^cross299), χαρίεντος, χαρίεντι, χαρίεντα, χαριέντων.

The character of the accent depends on the general laws ( ^cross167, ^cross168, ^cross176). Thus, νί_κη, ϝῖκαι ( ^cross169); δῶρον, δώρου, δῶρα; σῶμα, σώματος, σωμάτων, σώματα.

Oxytones of the first and second declensions are perispomena in the genitive and dative of all numbers: σκιά_, σκιᾶς, σκιᾷ, σκιῶν, σκιαῖς; θεός, θεοῦ, θεῷ, θεῶν, θεοῖς; φανερός, φανεροῦ, φανερῷ, φανερῶν, φανεροῖς.

The genitive plural of all substantives of the first declension has the circumflex on the ω of -ων. Thus, νί_κη νι_κῶν; θάλαττα θαλαττῶν; πολί_της πολι_τῶν; νεα_νία_ς νεα_νιῶν.

The fem. gen. plural of adjectives and participles in -ος has the same accent and form as the masculine and neuter. Thus, δίκαιος, gen. pl. δικαίων (in all genders); λυόμενος, gen. pl. λυομένων (in all genders).

a. The stem may undergo a change upon its union with the case ending, as in the genitive plural of the first declension ( ^cross213). Cp. ^cross258, ^cross264, 268, etc.

b. In the vowel declension, -ι of the nominative plural is borrowed from the inflection of pronouns (ἐκεῖνο-ι).
