Declension

[edit]

The declension is not right, it is only valid for example 1 and 3 Example 2 does not belong to the table where "4 uhren" reads. User:Rasmusklump 06:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

@-sche: Can you sort this out? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
The declension table is fine, it's just that sense 2 is uncountable. Somewhat interestingly, neither de.Wikt nor DWDS nor the Duden bother to give any indication of this; they all just have the same (unmarked) senses 1 and 2 as us, and the same declension table. - -sche (discuss) 21:45, 30 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I think "uncountable" is not a good way to put it, not because it's wrong, but because it's confusing. "Uncountable" usually means that a word cannot be preceded by numerals, while "Uhr" in the sense of "o'clock" is more or less always preceded by a numeral. I'm changing it to invariable.
