• "The neuter plural is only formed from those adjectives of one termination, which end in ans and ens, in as (rarely), rs, ax, ix, and ox, and from the numeral adjectives in plex": Latin Grammar by J. N. Madvig, translated by George Woods

• "victrix, ultrix, and nutrix, though properly feminine substantives, have a neuter in the plural as well as a feminine, as, victrices, victricia.

• "All those adjectives that have e only in the ablative, have no neuter plural; also, adjectives of one termination in er, es, or, os, and fex, whether the ablative ends in i or e and i, have seldom a neuter plural; as, puber, degener, uber; ales, locuples, deses, reses; memor, concolor, bicorpor; compos, impos, exos; artifex, &c.; also, comis, consors, exors, inops, particeps, princeps, pubis, impubis, redux, sons, insons, supplex, and vigil." Latin Grammar by Richard Hiley

• "Adjectives ending in er, or, es, os, have no neuter plural; as pauper, memor, dives, compos. Also pubis, impubis, supplex, comis, inops, vigil, sons, insons, redux, intercus, and a few others; except hebes, teres, and adjectives in er of three endings; as pedester." The Eton Latin Grammar

Priscian says on the genitive plural:

• reperiuntur praeterea absque i facientia genetiuum pluralem, quamuis ablatiuum et in e et in i proferant, in "us" et in "il" et in "or" trium generum et in "ex" desinentia, quando sunt communis generis, ut hic et haec et hoc uetus a uetere uel ueteri ueterum (Virgilius in V:

«ueterum non inmemor ille parentum»), uigil ab hoc et ab hac uigile uel uigili horum et harum uigilum.

• similiter memor a memore uel memori horum et harum memorum (Horatius in II sermonum:

«nam quamuis memori referas mihi pectore cuncta». raro tamen inuenitur in e terminans huius nominis ablatiuus, nec aliam esse causam existimo, ut supra dictum est, nisi eam, quod apud antiquos hic et haec memoris et hoc memore proferebatur. in quo testis est Caper, antiquitatis doctissimus inquisitor. ostendit enim, Caecilium in epiclero sic protulisse: «itane Antipho † inuentus profluuia fide? / itane est inmemoris, itane est madida memoria?». nec mirum, cum et hic celer et hic celeris, et hic concors et hic concordis
