Declension of Nouns. We learned above (§§ 19, 20) the differ-ence between the subject and object, and that in English they maybe distinguished by the order of the words. Sometimes, however, theorder is such that we are left in doubt. For example, the sentenceT/ie lady her daughter loves might mean either that the lady loves herdaughter, or that the daughter loves the lady. I. If the sentence were in Latin, no doubt could arise, because thesubject and the object are distinguished, not by the order of the words,but by the endings of the words themselves. Compare the followingsentences: Domina filiam amatFfliam domina amatAmat filiam dominaDomina amat filiam Filia dominam amatDominam filia amatAmat dominam filiaFilia amat dominam The lady loves her daughter The daughter loves the lady a. Observe that in each case the subject of the sentence ends in -aand the object in -am. The form of the noun
