Template talk:enm-verb

Discussion

Seems to be a bit more complicated than this. For example the verb speken, the third person singular isn't spekeneth, it's speketh. So it should be something like {{enm-verb|spek}} with allowances for irregular forms. I'll think about it a bit. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

The stage I'm up to now is trying to get it to accept named parameters. 3sg, pres-part and past all work, but it won't let me specify individual simple past and past participle forms. I'm assuming it gets overruled because 4=3. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok I gave up. This leaves us in the same situation as with en-verb - to specify an irregular past, you either need to specify the two parameters before it even if they are regular, or treat 3 and 4 as if they were named parameters, that is {{enm-verb|3=spak|4=speked}}.

You give an example there at the end of your latest comment which says (in the source) "temp|enm-verb|3=spak|4=speked". But the past participle of "speken" was never "speked"! Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Participle

I don't like the fact that this template makes the present participle have the ending "-inge" unless you give something else. It would be more correct to have "-ende". I'm gonna try to change it. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Needs support for alternate forms, like Template:en-verb

e.g. forblowen has two past participles. Equinox ◑ 01:11, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
