Feminine plural indefinite forms of adjectives at entries for feminine singular indefinite forms?
[edit]What is that for?

- So people know the plural. Much (though not precisely) as we show the masc.pl. form of an adjective in the masc.sg. entry.—msh210℠ 18:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Never mind, this is just one instantiation of our perpetual disagreement. Feminine singular indefinite forms don't have plurals, because they're singular by definition; and we don't have entries for masculine singular indefinite forms, because those are the lemmata, so the lexeme entries suffice; but I've given up trying to convince you of this. :-P —RuakhTALK 02:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, hence the "not precisely".
