  5. Special Notes • Just like 2nd Declension Masculine nouns, certain –er adjectives can contract. • You have to look at the 2nd principle part to know if it contracts or not. • miser, misera, miserum = doesn’t contract • pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum = contracts • If an adjective modifies multiple nouns in different genders, it will be masculine for people, and neuter for things.
