The word 'declension' describes a process in languages that use case endings to show the relationship of the parts of speech to the verb and to the rest of the sentence. For example, case endings identify whether a noun is the subject in the nominative case, an object of possession in the genitive, the direct or indirect object of the main verb in the accusative and dative cases respectively, or a prepositional object in the ablative case. The formal process of declension includes the singular and plural forms of each case; and the feminine, masculine and neuter forms.
A declension is a method of inflecting a noun, pronoun, or adjective, generally according to a systematic order. As a consequence, the noun in question takes different forms that identify its position within the sentence. For example, in Latin, a noun may have nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, or ablative case endings. The different endings change the look of the noun. But they're necessary in telling listeners and readers of the relationship of the particular noun to the verb and to the rest of the sentence.
Ut res magis valeat quam pereat?

The underlying idea of all legal systems is that all laws make sense, and are there for a purpose. If a law seems incomprehensible or silly, one should try to understand it in some way that makes sense of it - so that it can be used [valeat] rather than simply ignored [pereat].
