Declension
MORPHOLOGY: a traditional term indicating that nouns can be classified according to the shape of the inflectional endings they may take. See also conjugation. EXAMPLE: Classical Greek provides a clear case of a declensional system. Noun stems (and adjective stems) in Greek inflect for case and number. In one declensional class a noun stem consists of a root morpheme followed by the declensional marker -a-, and in a second declensional class, the nominal root is followed by the declensional marker -o-.
