Template:ga-decl-f2


Usage edit

This template is for Irish feminine nouns of the second declension.

{{ga-decl-f2|1|2|3|pl=|genpl=|dat=|datoc=}}

The three positional parameters are obligatory, and the named parameters are optional.

  • |1= is the initial letter of the word (case-sensitive). If the first letter is s, then the first two letters of the word should be listed here.
  • |2= is the nominative singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
  • |3= is the genitive singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
  • |pl= should be followed by the complete plural form, omitting the initial letter(s) (if the noun has a strong plural), or be omitted (if the noun has a weak plural where the genitive plural identical in form to the nominative singular).
  • |genpl= should be followed by the genitive plural form, omitting the initial letter(s), if the noun has a weak plural where the genitive plural is not identical in form to the nominative singular.
  • |dat= should be followed by the complete dative singular form, omitting the initial letter(s) (if the noun has a distinct dative singular), or be omitted (if the noun has a dative singular identical in form to the nominative singular).
  • |datoc= marks the circumstances under which the distinctive dative form occurs; it must be set to one of the following:
    • a if it occurs only in archaic and dialectal texts and not in the standard language at all
    • p if it occurs in the standard language only in certain phrases
    • s if it occurs in the standard language under all or almost all circumstances
