Template:ar-prep-auto/documentation

This template displays an inflection table for Arabic prepositions.

Parameters

1= or base=

The fully vocalized base form. This should generally end in a short vowel (e.g. حَوْلَ (ḥawla, “around”)), a long vowel (e.g. إِلَى (ʔilā)), or a sukūn (e.g. عَنْ (ʕan)).

2= or basetr=

Transliterated equivalent of the base. Generally not needed unless the automatic transliteration is insufficient (e.g. بِغَيِرِ (bi-ḡayri, “without”), where the automatic transliteration renders it as biḡayri).

3= or stem=

The fully vocalized stem form, if distinct from the base. This is normally not needed, since most cases where the base differs from the stem are handled automatically (e.g. إِلَى (ʔilā) with stem إِلَيْ (ʾilay-), and similar prepositions ending in ـَى (-ā)). An example of where this is useful is لِ (li-), with stem لَ (la-).

4= or stemtr=

Transliterated equivalent of the stem. Generally not needed unless the automatic transliteration is insufficient.

ni=+

If specified, use ـنِي (-nī) instead of ـِي (-ī) as the first-singular ending (e.g. with عَنْ (ʕan)).

1s=, 2ms=, 2fs=, 3ms=, 3fs=, 2d=, 3d=, 1p=, 2mp=, 2fp=, 3mp=, 3fp=

Override a specific form. Corresponding manual-transliteration arguments (e.g. 1str=, 2fptr=) also exist.
