You too?
I remember reading through the index.
To paraphrase: Here are the *eleven* (!!) noun declensions. However,
these are just samples as the last consonant in the word is also controlled
by the first consonant in the word. Also, since over 30% (!!!!) of the nouns
are irregular, the student should not rely two heavily on these tables.
I think 30% is actually a higher ratio than irregular French verbs!
That just looked horribly wicked to me.
Then there are verbs, with singular, dual, and plural forms....
