This was in the list of oldest tagged but not listed RFVs, but belongs here. The tagger commented "e.g. [www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=chaos&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059 Lewis & Short] have something different. Also: Hell/Underworld as proper noun and then with plural?" @I'm so meta even this acronym, is the declension correct? - -sche (discuss) 03:23, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@-sche: The plurals are post-Late Latin at the earliest. As for the singulars, the nominative and accusative forms are both Chaos, the genitive and dative forms are both Chaī, and the ablative form is Chaō; I don't see examples of the vocative, but I assume it would also be Chaos. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 03:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
