Latin people!

Is "sententiae" the correct nominative plural of "sententia"? I don't trust online resources for declensions. Please only answer if you actually know.

(No, it isn't for Harry Potter fic. Broken Latin would be perfectly appropriate for that.)

Yep - my dictionary says it's a garden variety first-declension noun.

No problem - I know a lot of the web resources out there for Latin are pretty dodgy. For Latin emergencies (am I the only one who has Latin emergencies?) I've found that searching for a Latin word + "Wheelock's" in Google Books or Google Scholar will often pull up a preview of one of the Wheelock's Latin vocabulary pages with the dictionary entry form.

lern2latin, sententices is the vocative. The nominative is sententiorumisuumae. us.

hic adestis ut scientum subtilem et artem exquisitam potionum faciendarum discatis.

cum plerumque abhorreamus a stulta ista vibratione baculorum, multi vestrum vix credent hanc esse partem artis magicae. equidem haud spero vos re vera intellecturos esse quam pulcher sit lebes lente fervens et fumos tremulos exhalans aut quam delicati et potentes sint liquores illi qui serpant per venas hominum, fascinantes animum, sensus illicientes... vos docere possum quomodo fama in ampullas infundatur, quomodo gloria coquatur, quomodo mors etiam condatur -- nisi vos tales estis caudices quales mihi plerumque docendi sunt.

I was more trying to avoid people in their first semester of Latin class answering because they really really want to be a cool person who knows the answer. I figured smart-aleck answers were a given either way. :)
