Template:ga-decl-m5-nopl/documentation

Usage

This template is for Irish masculine nouns of the fifth declension that have no plural form (mass nouns, places, given names, etc.).

{{ga-decl-m5-nopl|1|2|3|dat=|datoc=}}

The four positional parameters are obligatory, and the named parameters are optional.

• Parameter 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
• Parameter 2 is the nominative singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
• Parameter 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

{{ga-decl-m5-nopl|c|umha|umhadh|dat=umhaidh|datoc=a}}
