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)Reply
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)Reply
Yeah, hence the "not precisely".  :-) ​—msh210 16:04, 6 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
