====Case-specific==== * The vocative form is always the same as the nominative in the plural, and usually the same as the nominative in the singular except for second-declension nouns ending in ''-us'' and a few nouns of Greek origin. For example, the vocative of the first-declension {{wikt-lang|la|Aenēās}} is {{lang|la|Aenēā}}. * The genitive singular is the same as the nominative plural in first-, second-, and fourth-declension non-neuter Latin nouns. * The dative singular is the same as the genitive singular in first- and fifth-declension pure Latin nouns. * The dative is always the same as the ablative in the singular in the second declension, the third-declension full ''i''-stems (i.e. neuter ''i''-stems, adjectives), and fourth-declension neuters. * The dative, ablative, and locative are always identical in the plural. * The locative singular is identical to the genitive in the 1st and 2nd declensions; to the dative or ablative in the 3rd declension; to the ablative in the 5th declension. * The nominative and accusative plurals are identical for all nouns of the 4th declension (in ''-ūs'') and 5th declension (in ''-ēs''), and for many nouns of the 3rd declension (in ''-ēs''; but a distinct accusative plural in ''-īs'' can be used in Classical Latin for some i-stem nouns).
