Not changing for gender

[edit]

@Rua The IP has used this category for adjectives which do not vary their form by gender like most adjectives do (because they are mostly converted nouns). They are not indeclinable, as you can see by the tables, e. g. in خَرَاب (ḵarāb). Whither do they belong? Fay Freak (talk) 18:13, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

People will understand "invariable" to mean the same as "indeclinable", as I did. If they don't mean the same thing here, there needs to be a better name that is less likely to get mixed up. Perhaps Category:Arabic ungendered adjectives? —Rua (mew) 18:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Rua Sounds good; you decide: depending on whether it is useful for more languages than Arabic it will also be implemented differently, but I have no imagination right now. Fay Freak (talk) 18:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
It could be useful for more languages, but it's very much language-specific at the same time. So I won't add it to the data modules yet. —Rua (mew) 18:29, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@334a, Hiàn To raise attention that we spoke out on that matter already. Fay Freak (talk) 13:47, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
