What it is Filled
A class of Latin nouns of the third declension that are neuter in gender and form the genitive plural in -um or in -ium, the former being the consonant stem type such as nomen, nominum and corpus, corporum, and the latter the i-stem type such as mare, marium and animal, animalium, with the i-stems also showing ablative singular in -i and nominative plural in -ia; the class matters for correct parsing and formation of Latin forms.
