RULE 1: Fifth declension represents e-stem
nouns. Most are feminine in gender.
I. Grammar
A. Fifth Declension
Representing nouns which have a base ending in -e, fifth declension
exhibits endings which look most like those seen in third declension (with
second-declension endings in the genitive). Note how e—and
long ê, in particular—dominates the declension.

II. Vocabulary
For a complete list of vocabulary in Wheelock, Chapters 1-22, click here.
ignis: An i-stem noun.
tollo: Meaning literally
"lift," this verb carries many connotations, e.g. "carry
off, steal" (booty/spoils), "destroy, remove, abolish"
(enemies), "rescue, save" (friends). Its perfect forms sustuli
and sublatus were derived from a defunct compound, *sub-tollo.
medius: Means "the middle of
X."
alo: The perfect passive participle of this
verb, altus (literally "nourished"), had a sense of
"grown great" and thus came to mean "high, tall."
Seen not from the ground up but looked down on from above, a "tall"
thing is "deep," and therefore altus also came to mean
"deep," hence also "mystical, secret, ancient."
III. Sentences
Practice and Review
2. Inasmuch as finibus in this sentence must be an impersonal
agent—no ab!—continebantur is best taken
as "were confined/enclosed."
4. Here, tollo has a sense of "destroy."
