Mare, maris is third declension neuter and an i-stem, which is where its odd corners come from: the ablative singular is mari rather than mare, and the plural runs maria, marium. That ablative is the form in the set phrase terra marique, by land and sea. The Romans called the Mediterranean Mare Nostrum, our sea, and the stem gives English marine, maritime and submarine.
