This template is to be used on Swedish proper nouns so that the genitive form can be shown.
Parameter 1 is for the gender: c for common and n for neuter. Place names are neuter, while names of people are common.
Parameter 2 is for the genitive form itself; this is automatically generated for regular nouns, so only fill that one in if the genitive form is irregular. The automatic generation puts a so-called genitive-s at the end of all words unless they end in s, x and z, in which case the genitive form is unchanged.
Sometimes, to differentiate a nominative form and genitive form, an apostrophe may be used after words that end in s, x and z. For example, to differentiate from the genitive forms of the male name Andreas and the female name Andrea, Andreas' may be used as the genitive of the former. However, the genitive-apostrophe is for differentiation purposes only and may not be used otherwise. Acronyms and letters get a colon before the genitive-s, but since the template cannot distinguish between words and acronyms, the correct genitive form must be placed in the template, along with a colon (See USA under examples).
