Resоlving аmbiguities Nоte thаt, with the ūnus nаuta adjectives as well as оur new demonstrative pronouns, it is possible to be more precise with our case/number/gender usage where ambiguities may exist in endings. For example, the following phrase magnō amīcō could be dative or ablative singular masculine without any additional context. However, with an ūnus nauta adjective we can say decisively which is which: magnō amīcō sōlī = dative singular masculine magnō amīcō sōlō = ablative singular masculine The same is true for many forms of hic, ille, and iste, where antīquae portae could be dative or genitive singular feminine, or even nominative or vocative plural feminine. By adding a demonstrative, we can add clarity: huius antīquae portae = genitive singular feminine huic antīquae portae = dative singular feminine hae antīquae portae = nominative plural feminine hae antīquae portae = vocative plural feminine Only the nominative/vocative plural ambiguity remains, although context is usually quick to remedy this ambiguity! This makes an excellent case for being aware of the different forms of the demonstrative pronouns and these new adjectives!
