They are inconsistently used even within the same author's works; Cicero and Pliny the Elder use both the Latin declension: and the Greek: while Ovid, most notably, uses exclusively the Greek declension: The accusative plural form ībidas is encountered as well: Some forms, such as the nominative and genitive plural, are only attested in the Latin declension, while others, such as the genitive and ablative singular, in the Greek. The dative, ablative plural and vocative are unattested. ===== Declension ===== Third-declension noun (imparisyllabic non-i-stem or i-stem, accusative singular in -im or occasionally -em, ablative singular in -ī or i-stem, accusative singular in -im or -in, ablative singular in -ī; two different stems). ===== Descendants ===== === Etymology 2 === Inflected form of eō (“go, proceed”). ==== Verb ==== ībis second-person singular future active indicative of eō === References === “ibis”, in Charlton T.
