SIMPLE QUESTION ....What Greek declensions are ambiguous i.e. could be either of two or more cases, numbers, genders.

It ought to be simple to find a list of these right? Wrong. I can get examples such as:

1st and 2nd declensions, masculine: Nominative and Vocative Plural
1st and end declensions: Dative Singular and Nominative/Accusative Dual (but note dual is almost extinct)
1st declension, feminine: Genitive Singular and Accusative Plural
3rd declension, neuter: Nominative and Accusative
and so on

But I can't get a complete list for regular nouns.

Edited to fix link and attach the table it generated. If you alphabetize the table be the first column, I think it is basically what you want. 3603.Koine_Greek_Reverse_Paradigm_Chart.xlsx

I think that making an algorithm to reorganize readily available information is where it shines. The further you get from that, the more likely you are to get nonsense.

I suspect you are right ... and I tend to want the outliers not the norm.

This is why people are making money as Prompt Engineers. The more you know about how the model works the better results you get from them.
