{{Main|Declension of Greek nouns in Latin}}

The first declension also includes three types of [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] loanwords, derived from Ancient Greek's [[Ancient Greek nouns#First declension|alpha declension]]. They are declined irregularly in the singular, but sometimes treated as native Latin nouns, e.g. nominative {{wikt-lang|la|athleta|athlēt'''a'''}} ('athlete') instead of the original ''athlēt'''ēs'''''. Archaic ([[Homer]]ic) first declension Greek nouns and adjectives had been formed in exactly the same way as in Latin: ''nephelēgerét'''a''' Zeus'' ('[[Zeus]] the cloud-gatherer') had in classical Greek become ''nephelēgerét'''ēs'''''.
