Template:svm-decl-noun/documentation

Use this template to decline Slavomolisano nouns.

Parameters

|1=

The stem to be declined, ususally the same as the lemma minus final -a (if present).

|2=

The singular declension pattern. Possible values are f for feminine nouns, m-cons for masculine consonant-stem nouns, and m-a (or nothing) for masculine a-stem nouns.

|3=

The plural nominative and accusative declension pattern. Possible values are a (or nothing) for endings in -a and e for endings in -e. These correspond to Walter Breu’s series 1 and 2. All feminine nouns, along with rising-tone masculine nouns, are series 2 (-e).

|4=

The plural genitive, dative, and instrumental declension pattern. Possible values are a (or nothing) for only endings in -i and b if the word can also take a genitive in -∅ and dative/instrumental in -ami. These correspond to Walter Breu’s series a and b. Almost all nouns of series b have monosyllabic stems and are Slavic in origin, and most are feminine. The vast majority of nouns are series a.

|a=

Animacy of the noun. Set this to an if the noun is an animate masculine consonant-stem noun. Otherwise, do not fill in this parameter.

|l=

Set this to o or a, repsectively, if the noun ends in an -o or -a representing underlying -l or -al (i.e. -l- appears in desinences that start with vowels). Note that such nouns count as consonant-stem nouns. Otherwise, do not fill in this parameter.

|head=

The word to use in the template header, if different from the page name.
