Just got finished studying for Wednesday's exam a little less than an hour ago... Boy, those 3rd declension nouns and adjectives were tripping me up since the 7th chapter was introduced, but I think I have it worked out now. I think I was making it more complicated than it actually is for some reason. I was really worried this afternoon because I know I did horribly on today's quiz and last Thursday's quiz as well... I hope, I hope, I hope I've got it now.

Absolutely correct---an excellent job!
BUT ablative of adjectives is in -I, so 'forti'

Ah, yes, I see now. I guess I was studying the consonant stem endings for adjectives... But I see it now. So "omnis" and "fortis" are both -i stem 3rd declension adjectives?
Forget the whole 'I-stem' lingo for now. I will introduce it in Ch. 9, when the book deems it proper to teach the...genitive.
