Second Declension Neuter Nouns
All neuter nouns whose vocalic ending is omīkron belong to the second
declension. For this reason, the second declension is called the omīkrondeclension.
Case Formation
The case endings for second declension neuter nouns are indicated below
in red. Comments concerning their formation follow. The neuter noun
e1rgon will serve as the n-2c paradigm.

1. The neuter nominative, accusative, and vocative singular and
plural forms are identical. This is different from n-2a/n-2b second
declension vocative singular nouns that normally exhibit a
separate form than its nominative singular. The context in which
the neuter noun occurs determines its grammatical function.
2. In the nominative, accusative, and vocative plural forms, the
omīkron has been irregularly absorbed by the alpha (and not
because of contraction). The final alpha is pronounced short in
all neuter nominative, vocative, and accusative plural noun forms.
3. As in second declension masculine and feminine nouns, the
actual case ending is omīkron. However due to the undesired
combination with the stem vowel omīkron, contraction occurs.

4. As in second declension masculine and feminine nouns, the stem
vowel omīkron has been irregularly absorbed by the ōmega, and
not because of contraction as in the genitive singular.
5. At some time during the morphological development of the dative
singular case ending, the stem vowel omīkron lengthened to
ōmega, with the iōta retained as an iōta subscript.
6. The neuter vocative singular and plural case forms are identical
to the nominative case endings.
7. The neuter second declension nouns are identical with the
masculine and feminine case forms in the genitive and dative, in
both the singular and the plural. It is important, therefore, to learn
the gender of each noun as they are encountered.
The above morphological comments are summarized in the following chart
for second declension neuter nouns.

All second declension neuter nouns which occur in NTGreek are listed
below with their frequency in parentheses. Alternate readings in the USB 4
are not cited. Nouns with a double dagger denote that the noun occurs in
all three genders, which can be either masculine (n-2a), feminine (n-2b), or
neuter (n-2c).

The actual count of neuter nouns in the second declension will vary some
between lists in reference works. Some works include alternate readings
in their calculations based upon different editions of the Greek New
Testament, whereas the above list does not. Variant spellings are
included with their primary spelling in the above list by brackets, whereas
others will include them separately. In addition, some grammars cite forms
that are adjectives, but are used exclusively as substantives in NTGreek.
This will increase the total for second declension neuter nouns.
