Reflections on my Rome excursion and whatever else strikes my fancy.

Daughters are special
in Latin declension.
Another funny quirk in Latin. Daughter = filia and son = filius.
For two of the declensions (pl. Dative et Ablative) filia and filius would be exactly the same. So to solve the problem Latin makes daughter into filiabus.
