020 THIRD DECLENSION.

First, of nouns ending in ൽ.

Second, of nouns ending in ൾ.

Third, of nouns ending with the half sound of അ.

Nouns of this declension, whose nominative end in റ, or ട, double these letters in most of the oblique cases singular; as,
ആറ, River. Gen. ആറ്റിന്റെ.
വീട, House. Gen. വീട്ടിന്റെ.
In the plural these nouns are declined like തെൾ; thus, ആറുകൾ,—വീടുകൾ.
