Declension in a sentence as a noun

Learn rules, draw tables with tenses, declension rules and so on.

But the rate of profit does not, like rent and wages, rise with the prosperity, and fall with the declension, of the society.

As far as I recall, it's mostly duo, ambo, and 2nd declension nouns by analogy in archaizing poetic passages.

I suspect some people are missing the declension here:* I am a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

He/she probably means grammatical case declension for subjects, objects, possessives and whatnot.

'Ancilla' [female slave, I was taught] is translated: maid, handmaiden, women, and ancillary, depending on declension?

* the noun-to-verb-to-adjective declension is not compatible with the structure of meaning, and so cannot be extended in a consistent, predictable way.

I think the corpus of latin/english translations is not large enough, because the translation of even the basest schoolboy latin seems mangled; different declensions of the same word get different translations.

It's a mistake I usually make too, being the expected translation of "declinaciĆ³n".Yes, it's comparable to declension, though Hungarian notation is prefix and not part of the syntax, while declension is postfix and has syntactic meaning.

Absolutely, but I would be surprised if they didn't have some code in the production version right now to support doubtlessly upcoming translated versions - perhaps not a full blown declension engine, but it seems unlikely they'd go English only at the start and retrofit everything later.
