Nouns belonging to the third group of the third
declination usually have nominatives ending in -e; their plural nominative ends
in -ia (e.g. "mare"[singular nominative]----> "maria"[ with axcent on the
first "a" i'd say)
It may be a singular ablative of a
third declination name.The plural nominative would thus end in -es(if masculine
or feminine[right?], while if neuter should end in -a)
May belong to the fifth declination as well :
singular ablative usually ends in -e too and plural nominative ends in
-es.
