Usage

[edit]

This template generates a conjugation table for regular first conjugation, class A verbs (monosyllabic verbs not ending in -igh).

{{ga-conj-1a|1|2|3|4|slenderstem=|vn=|pp=}}

The positional paramters are obligatory, and slenderstem=, vn= and pp= are optional parameters.

  • 1 should contain the initial letter of the verb (case-sensitive). If the first letter is s, then the first two letters of the verb should be included here.
  • 2 should contain everything between the contents of 1 and 3. In the case where the stem has a final slender consonant but conjugated forms use a root with a final broad consonant (e.g. siúil but siúlann), omit the final -i-.
  • 3 should contain the final letter of the verb (case-sensitive). When the verb ends in a lenited consonant (e.g. bh or th), both letters should be included. For double consonants (e.g. ll or nn), however, only the final letter should be included.
  • 4 should contain either broad or slender, depending on the quality of the final consonant used in conjugated forms. I.e., use broad for mol and siúil, slender for cuir.
  • slenderstem= should be followed by yes if the stem has a final slender consonant but conjugated forms use a root with a final broad consonant, as in the siúil case above.
  • vn= should be followed by the verbal noun if it is not formed by simply adding -(e)adh to the stem (e.g. cur) or, if slenderstem=yes, by using the broad root (e.g. siúl).
  • pp= should be followed by the past participle (also known as the verbal adjective) if it is not formed by replacing final -bh or -mh with -f(a,e) or by adding -t(a,e) or -th(a,e) to the stem or broad root.
