Some Greek adjectives are exclusively 3rd declension, whereas others combine features of the 3rd and 1st declensions. In the following list, do not worry about declension numbers; you will actually find some more adjectives of the 1st and 2nd declension pattern, which are included here because of semantic relationships. If there is anything unusual about an adjective\u2019s combining form(s), the base or bases are shown in parentheses.<\/p>\n \n\n\n<\/a>Table 19.2: GREEK 3RD DECLENSION (AND OTHER) ADJECTIVES<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| ADJECTIVE<\/td>\n | TRANSLITERATION<\/td>\n | ENG.
