If I have it correctly, VL had the following forms:

Nom Masc Sing      ILLU  >  ILLUS by analogy with adjectives
Gen Masc Sing        ILLUIUS
Dat Masc Sing         ILLUI (should that be ILLUÍ ?)

Nom Fem Sing      ILLA
Gen Fem Sing        ILLAEUS
Dat FemSing         ILLAEI (ILLAEÍ ?)

Can anyone tell me the VL plural forms?


I take the following forms from Hall's Proto-Romance Morphology:

nmp 'illi
gmp il'loru
dmp 'illis

nfp 'illas
gfp il'laru (?)
dfp 'illis

I think Hall marks tonic vowels with an acute accent; I've stuck a mark ' at the front of the syllable. (He also marks the /o/ in "il'loru" as being tense. I'm not quite sure why he puts a question mark after the gfp il'laru; maybe there's no evidence actually attesting it?

Cheers,
Carl
