Sus sui pulcher

Sus sui pulcher is part of a pithy Latin proverb: "Asinus asino et sus sui pulcher (est)."  The full phrase means: "A donkey (is) beautiful to a donkey, and a pig to a pig."

Asino and sui are the dative singulars of the second declension noun - asinus, -i donkey and the third declension noun sus, suis pig.
