Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What's the genitive of the Latin word "rex" (king)?

Answer: regis

Think of the English adjective "regal" and the French one "regalien".
2. What's the genitive of the Latin word "anas" (duck)?

Answer: anatis

The origin of the word "anas" (anatis) is obscure so it gave no word in English or French.
3. What's the genitive of the Latin word "custos" (guard)?

Answer: custodis

Think of the English word "custodian" which came from the Latin genitive.
4. What's the genitive of the Latin word "palus" (marsh)?

Answer: paludis

The genitive paludis gave the English word "paludism" and the French one "paludisme". Paludism or malaria is a serious infectious, sometimes fatal, disease caused by mosquitoes found in and around marshes and swamps.
5. What's the genitive of the Latin word "crus" (leg)?

Answer: cruris

The origin of the word crus is unknown.
6. What's the genitive of the Latin word "bos" (ox)?

Answer: bovis

The Latin word "bos" is very irregular. In French, bovidé (from the Latin genitive bovis) means ox, and the English "bovine" comes from the same root.
7. What's the genitive of the Latin word "frux" (thrifty)?

Answer: frugis

Frux could be an adjective meaning thrifty, it was the root of the word frugalis which gave the English and French adjectives frugal.

Answer: cordis

The genitive "cordis" gave the English and the French adjective cordial.
9. What's the genitive of the Latin word "nox" (night)?

Think of the English adjective "nocturnal" and the French one "nocturne".
10. What's the genitive of the Latin word "supellex" (furniture)?

Answer: supellectilis

An unusual form of genitive for that one, very different from rex-regis for instance.
