There is no real difference in meaning, both praeceptor, oris, m. and magister, tri, m. mean either teacher or ruler. Magister has slightly more meanings, such as "the highest" or "head". Both nouns follow the 3rd declension.

What is the difference between genitive case and possessive case or are they same?

They are very nearly the same, but the genitive case in many languages has functions that go beyond mere possession. For example, in Latin the genitive case encodes not only possession (domus patris mei, "my father's house") but also other relations between nouns, such as the material out of which something is made (flumina sanguinis, "rivers of blood") and the object of an implied verb (cupiditas argenti, "desire for money"). Note that in English, which has a possessive case ("John's", "his", etc.), we can say "my father's house", but not "blood's rivers"; and while we can perhaps say "money's desire", it means something quite different from the Latin version.


What is the difference between incandescent and candescent?

Both are terms for the emission of light from an object due to heating, originating from the Latin word candere, which means "to shine".They are pretty much synonymous, but I think incandescence refers to an object becoming red-hot or white-hot, while candescence is more along the lines of light being given off from a fire.The answer in this link agrees with me.What_the_different_between_candescent_and_incandescent
