The Latin Word for person is homo in the nominative singular, and hominis in the genitive singular. It is a third declension noun, and declines accordingly. This Word refers most closely to what we generally think of when we say the Word, "Person." However, there are other Words, which have varying senses of the term:
civis/civis (this one is a 3rd declension -i stem, and declines accordingly), which refers to a citizen, countryman, or free person, and can mean person in a legal sense.
