Latin Noun Round-Up Crossword

Read the clues and work out the correct word to place in the grid. Be extra eagle-eyed - some answers are Latin words and some English words!

Extension: Choose two nouns from the crossword, one singular and one plural. Identify what case they are in.

What would the nouns be in the ablative case? What would the nouns be in the genitive case? How does the meaning change?
