My question is related to the ever-shifting-genus problem: Exactly how
does one know when to change the ending of the specific name- does one
require a detailed knowledge of Latin endings to get this right, or are
there some relatively simple rules to follow, which make Latin
scholarship unnecessary?

councellors there is safety"- Prov. 11,v. 14.  "-or complete confusion!"
