This template creates a headword line for all types of Latin proper nouns (including multiword/multipart nouns). Common nouns should use {{la-noun}}. The parameters of this template are exactly as for {{la-noun}}; see that template for more details.

Parameters

The following parameters are allowed:

  • |1=: Lemma with macrons, along with a code indicating the declension and subtype(s) (see below) and optionally the stem, if it cannot be determined from the lemma. This is exactly the same format as used by {{la-ndecl}}; see the documentation of that template for more information.
  • |num=: Number restriction, if not specified as a subtype. Possible values are sg, pl and both.
  • |title=: Override the automatically-generated title.
  • |footnote=: Provide a note to be displayed below the table.
  • |g=, |g2=, …: Optional gender(s). Most of the time, this is unnecessary, as the gender can be inferred from the declension and ending of the noun, or from an explicitly-specified gender in the noun's subtypes. It is necessary if the gender cannot be inferred (e.g. third-declension nouns in -is) or if the default gender is incorrect (e.g. for masculine first-declension nouns such as nauta). Only the gender codes m, f, n, c (for "common gender") and ? are allowed, except when |indecl=1 is given, in which case combined gender/number specs like m-p are allowed.
  • |indecl=: If specified, noun is indeclinable. You can also specify an indeclinable noun using declension type <0>.
  • |lemma=, |lemma2=, …: Override the lemma(s), if the lemma determined from parameter |1= is incorrect. This rarely needs to be given. An example where it does is vicis, which has no nominative singular and where the lemma vicis is actually the genitive singular. This noun would specify a fabricated nominative singular vix in |1= and override the lemma using |lemma=.
  • |pos=: Override the part of speech, which is "nouns" by default. This affects the categories that the noun is placed in, and should be in the plural.
  • |f=, |f2=, …: Feminine equivalents of masculine gendered nouns such as āctor, Rōmānus and Lūcius.
  • |m=, |m2=, …: Masculine equivalents of feminine gendered nouns such as āctrīx, Rōmāna and Lūcia.
  • |nom_sg=, |gen_sg=, …, |nom_pl=, |gen_pl=, …: Override the form(s) for a given slot (i.e. a given case/number combination). If multiple forms need to be given, separate them with a slash.

Examples
