In the [[third declension]], there are two subcategories: "consonant stem" and "i-stem". They are almost identical, but when it comes to the plural genitive form, nouns of the "consonant stem" get an ending "'''-um'''", while "i-stem" nouns get an "'''-ium'''" ending. How to differentiate between "consonant stem" and "i-stem"?

Nouns of "i-stem" are the following:
#nouns ending in '''-is''', '''-es''', and having a genitive form with a number of syllables equal to their [[nominative]] form. E. g.: ''civis, civis mf'', or ''collis, collis m'';
#nouns ending in '''consonant + s''' (-rs, -ns, -ps, -bs, -x), but only, and exclusively only, '''if''' before their genitive ending ''-is'' there are at least two consonants. E. g.: ''gens, gentis, f'' ("-nt-" is two consonants before the "-is"), or ''nox, noctis f'' ("-ct-" is two consonants before the "-is").
#neuter nouns ending in '''-e, -al, -ar'''. E. g.: ''mare, maris; n, animal, -alis, n; nectar, nectaris, n''.
#almost all adjectives of the third declension

Nouns of "consonant stem" are all nouns of the third declension not matching the requirements listed above.
