Template:egy-decl-noun/documentation

Use this template to decline Egyptian nouns.

Basic usage is

• {{egy-decl-noun|g=m|singular}} for regular masculine nouns.
• {{egy-decl-noun|g=f|f=feminine root}} for regular feminine nouns.
• {{egy-decl-noun|singular|dual|plural}} to specify the singular, dual, and plural forms individually (e.g. for irregular nouns or when you don’t know the gender).

Parameters

|1=

The singular. If this field is left empty but the gender |g= is specified as feminine, a form with final .t will be derived from the feminine root |f=.

|2=

The dual. If this field is left empty but the gender |g= is specified, a regular form will be derived from the singular |1= (for masculine nouns) or feminine root |f= (for feminine nouns).

|3=

The plural. If this field is left empty but the gender |g= is specified, a regular form will be derived from the singular |1= (for masculine nouns) or feminine root |f= (for feminine nouns).

|g=

The gender (m for masculine, f for feminine).

|f=

The feminine root, usually the singular form without the final .t. Needed for feminine nouns if parameters |1=, |2=, and |3= are not individually specified.

|type=

The stem type (consonant-stem, u-stem, a-stem, or i-stem) of the noun, if known. The stems are derived from Proto-Afroasiatic case endings: *-u for nominative, *-a for accusative, and *-i for genitive-possessive.
