Template:sa-verb/documentation

This template should be used to generate the headword line for Sanskrit verbs. It supports the following parameters:

|1= (optional)

Verb root. This should be original stem, even if it is an irregular form. For example, for the verb इच्छति, the root should be इष् and not इच्छ्; similarly, for the verb, गच्छति, the root should be गम् and not गच्छ्.

|2= (optional)

Verb class (गण), from 1 through 10. If specified, the page is automatically added to e.g. Category:Sanskrit class 2 verbs (depending on the specified class).

|3= (optional)

Verb type (पद; approximately, the voice of the verb): P = parasmaipada (active voice), A = ātmanepada (middle voice), U = ubhayapada (double voice; verb can be conjugated either in the active or middle voice), UP = ubhayapada — parasmaipada, , UA = ubhayapada — ātmanepada. If specified, the page is automatically categorized appropriately, e.g. in Category:Sanskrit parasmaipada verbs or Category:Sanskrit ātmanepada verbs.

|4= (optional)

Verb mode (approximately, the aspect or type of derived verb): present, causative, desiderative, intensive, frequentative, denominative (and its synonym nominal), perfect, imperfect, aorist, passive. They categorize accordingly; see below.

|5= (optional)

Second verb class; see above.

|6= (optional)

Second verb type; see above.

|7= (optional)

Second verb mode; see above.

|head=, |head2=, |head3=, ...

Explicitly specified headword(s), for introducing links in multiword expressions. Note that by default each word of a multiword lemma is linked, so you only need to use this when the default links don't suffice (e.g. the multiword expression consists of non-lemma forms, which need to be linked to their lemmas).

|tr=, |tr2=, |tr3=, ...

Manual transliteration(s), in case the automatic transliteration is incorrect.

|sc=

Script code. Rarely needs to be given, as the script is normally autodetected.

|sort=

Sort key. Rarely needs to be given, as the sort key is autogenerated and is usually correct.

|id=

Sense ID code, for linking to this headword. See {{senseid}}. Only needed for distinguishing multiple Sanskrit headwords on the same page.

NOTE: This headword template automatically adds the page to a script-specific category, in addition to the normal part of speech category. For example, {{sa-verb}} when used with a term in Devanagari script automatically adds the page to both Category:Sanskrit verbs and Category:Sanskrit verbs in Devanagari script (regardless of whether |sc= was explicitly given; if not given, the correct script is autodetected).

The "mode" parameters categorize as follows:

Value	Category
present	Category:Sanskrit present verbs
causative	Category:Sanskrit causative verbs
desiderative	Category:Sanskrit desiderative verbs
intensive	Category:Sanskrit intensive verbs
frequentative
denominative	Category:Sanskrit denominative verbs
nominal
passive	Category:Sanskrit passive verbs
perfect	Category:Sanskrit perfect verbs
future	Category:Sanskrit future verbs
perfect	Category:Sanskrit perfect verbs
aorist	Category:Sanskrit aorist verbs
benedictive	Category:Sanskrit benedictive verbs
imperfect	no categorization
conditional
periphrastic future
