Template:mdf-noun-def

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

If the stem changes in plural specify it with pl parameter, e.g., pl=кус

If the term ends in , -дь, , -ть, , -нь (-d , -ď , -t , -ť , -n , -ń) or any vowel (with the exception of , (-i , -i) in words that are longer than 1 syllable), specify v=1.

Additionally if the word final consonant is (-n), specify n=1, as it takes -ць () as sg. nom. def. ending. It is currently not known what endings words with soft word final n take.

, (-i , -i) (in words longer than one syllable) and all the other consonants – you do not need to specify anything.

If there is a "thematic vowel" that changes from the lemma form in inflection that is present in the singular forms of def. decl. (as well as plural,) specify the singular stem with sg= as in сельме (śeľme).

Singulare tantum – st=1, plurale tantum – pt=1.

Examples:

  • ош () – no additional params because the stem doesn't change in plural (ошт (ošt) and it doesn't end with one of the voiced parameter sounds. (fully consistent with the example given in {{R:mdf:G}})
  • куз (kuz) – stem consonant change. (fully consistent with the example given in {{R:mdf:P}})
  • васенце (vaśeńće) – the word ends with one of the v=1 sounds, the forms are consistent with ones used in Mokšen' Pravda (its web version.)
