Welcome to ISRT Online, the Official Website of the International Society of Rhombi and Thesauri (ISRT)! The ISRT is a progressive organization formed to inform the populace of the Truth of the English Language: the firm and widespread roots of English in Latin. We believe that when words of Latin origin that end in -us (such as rhombus and thesaurus) are changed to their plural forms, the -us should change to -i (thus, rhombi and thesauri).

I have spoken of two declensions in the Latin language, the first solely containing nouns ending with -a and the second primarily of words with -us. The third, not as relative to the One Doctrine, involves terms with various other endings. Up until recently, I have not mentioned the last two declensions because I did not know they existed.

How casually they ignore fourth and fifth declensions.

Maybe you mean this already, but I think "the last two declensions" refers (through an unlikely binding of referents) to those two not yet mentioned.
