Declension table for Proto-Semitic nouns. No parameters are necessary for default use. For feminine nouns ending in *-at-, the plural stem in *-āt- is generated automatically; for all other plural stems, they must be specified in |pl= (without asterisks or hyphens). If the plural stem is an addition of *-āt- to a noun that does not have *-at- in the singular, specify that with |fpl=āt.
