Note The "BarCharts" Quick Study card for Latin Grammar disagrees with Wheelock (and the other references I checked), indicating that the Neut. Dat. Sing. ending is -ui, just like the masculine, so be careful. I should check how Lingua Latina drills it.

There are a very few feminine fourth declension nouns.
