Declension of the Cardinals.
80. 1. The declension of ūnus has already been given under § 66.
2. Duo is declined as follows:--
_Nom._ duo duae duo _Gen._ duÅrum duÄrum duÅrum _Dat._ duÅbus duÄbus duÅbus _Acc._ duÅs, duo duÄs duo _Abl._ duÅbus duÄbus duÅbus
a. So ambÅ, both, except that its final o is long.
3. Trēs is declined,--
_Nom._ trēs tria _Gen._ trium trium _Dat._ tribus tribus _Acc._ trēs (trīs) tria _Abl._ tribus tribus
4. The hundreds (except centum) are declined like the Plural of bonus.
5. Mīlle is regularly an adjective in the Singular, and indeclinable. In the Plural it is a substantive (followed by the Genitive of the objects enumerated; § 201, 1), and is declined,--
_Nom._ mīlia _Acc._ mīlia _Gen._ mīlium _Voc._ mīlia _Dat._ mīlibus _Abl._ mīlibus
Thus mīlle hominēs, _a thousand men_; but duo mīlia hominum, two thousand men, literally two thousands of men.
a. Occasionally the Singular admits the Genitive construction; as, mīlle hominum.
6. Other Cardinals are indeclinable. Ordinals and Distributives are declined li
