• Resumen

  • Integrated in the Latin nominal flexion in different periods, especially in Late Latin, a large number of greek feminine loanwords which belonged the second declension, underwent a change in its original grammatical gender and became masculine. This paper shows how this fact constitutes another convincing evidence which demonstrates that Latin speakers regarded the o-stem or 2nd declension as the masculine, as opposed to the a-sthem or first declension, which was considered to be the feminine flexion.
