What about the fourth and fifth declensions?

You may remember in the overview that I said that Oscan has five declensions. It does—but sadly, the fourth and fifth declensions seem to be rare and have little information about them in our lasting scripts. In fact, there is nearly no lasting fifth-declension form apart from one word ‘kerri’ in the dative singular.

Below are our remnants of the fourth declension and an example.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this first lesson in Oscan!
