Usage notes

• Only the genitive, accusative and ablative forms of the singular are in ordinary use as a common noun, also confirmed by the grammarians' statements.
• The nominative singular ops is not in use other than as the name of the goddess; the dative op? is attested only once.
• The ablative singular is usually ope, but once op? in Varro (in giving an etymology) and op?d in an inscription, doubly unusual for having an i-stem ending augmented with the o-stem ablative /d/.

Declension

Third-declension noun.
