A module that may handle an Ancient Greek–specific form-of template, with features missing from {{inflection of}}. Or perhaps the features can be integrated into Module:form of.

Desired features:

  • Checking lemmas for monophthongal α, ι, υ (a, i, u) with ambiguous length: that is, without macrons, breves, iota subscripts, or circumflexes.
  • Putting inflectional categories in a consistent order.
  • Checking that inflectional categories are actually ones present in Ancient Greek (no conditional mood).
  • Checking that combinations of inflectional categories are valid in Ancient Greek (for instance, no imperfect infinitive).
  • Allowing the presence of movable nu, for instance in ἐστίν (estín), to be indicated with a parameter.
  • Allowing the terms movable nu, contraction, first aorist, and second aorist to be linked to pages explaining what they mean.
  • Allowing definitions for apocopic or aspirated forms of inflected forms, for instance ξεῖν’ (xeîn’) or δώμαθ’ (dṓmath’).
