Talk:τοῖχος

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The English version of this entry mistakenly assigns this noun to the "third declension neuter" - "τοῖχος, *τό"

But it's actually "second declension masculine" - "τοῖχος, ὁ" (of a house or court).

This entry is confusing "τοῖχος" with the related third declension neuter term "τεῖχος, τό" (fortified city wall, fortification, castle, etc).

The declension table is full of spurious third declension forms that are probably taken from the paradigm for "τεῖχος".

The Greek version of this entry in Βικιλεξικό does not have this error. And all of the references at the bottom of this article indicate that this noun is masculine. So it should be fixed whenever someone possessing the wherewithal to adjust the declension table is able to do so.

Thank you.


EDIT: I edited the enter to correct the genitive forms "*τοίχους" to "τοίχου". Apparently, the correction fixed the declension table automatically. However, there seem to be some residual question marks and errors resulting from my edit. And I'm not sure how to fix them.
