Template:ga-decl-m2-nopl/documentation

Usage

This template is for Irish masculine nouns of the second declension that have no plural form (e.g. mass nouns, places, given names, etc.). There are extremely few examples of this class.

{{ga-decl-m2-nopl|1|2|3|dat=|datoc=}}

The three positional parameters are obligatory; the two named parameters are optional.

• 1 is the initial letter of the word (case-sensitive). If the first letter is s, then the first two letters of the word should be listed here
• 2 is the nominative singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
• 3 is the genitive singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
• dat= should be followed by the complete dative singular form, omitting the initial letter(s) (if the noun has a distinct dative singular), or be omitted (if the noun has a dative singular identical in form to the nominative singular)
• datoc= marks the circumstances under which the distinctive dative form occurs; it must be set to one of the following:
  • a if it occurs only in archaic and dialectal texts and not in the standard language at all
  • p if it occurs in the standard language only in certain phrases
  • s if it occurs in the standard language under all or almost all circumstances

Examples
