Template:rad-decl

Template documentation [view] [edit] [purge]

This template generates Radestrian noun declension tables. It auto-categorises the stem and number type, unless |notag=true.

Base arguments

The template takes a minimum of one argument (for light and semi-light stems only) or two arguments (heavy and spirant stems). It can interpret all declension types, and will account for most orthographical alternations. Note, however, that semi-light stems must be written as (V)G in a single parameter.

Radical morphophonology

An ablauting nucleus of a word can be separated, with breaking alternations marked with ~ and stem raising with ^. Both can be specified simultaneously in that order.

Table types

The optional parameter |type= or |t= can take 5 values:

• |type=sgpl (default)
• |type=sg (singulare tantum)
• |type=pl (plurale tantum)
• |type=du (plurale binarium)
• |type=dupl (plurale binarium tantum)
• |type=adj (adjective)

Disabling IPA generation

IPA generation can be disabled with |noipa=true.

Irregularity

Overriding

Any base stems in the table can be overridden by specifying:

• |nom=
• |gen=
• |dat=
• |acc=
• |ins=
• |nompl=
• |genpl=
• |genpl_short=

Adding * to any form (including alternative forms; see the next section) will register it as irregular.

{{rad-decl|hjembra|v|dat=hjembrava|type=sg}}

---

{{rad-decl|rjø|H|dat=rjøà*|genpl=rjøșe*|genpl_short=rjøșes*|ins=rjøúr*|nompl=rjøi}}

Setting an overriden form to just * will use the auto-generated form, but will register it as irregular anyway.

{{rad-decl|dza|v^ve|H|dat=*|genpl=*|genpl_short=*|ins=*}}

Alternative forms

Any cell of the table can have alternative forms specified with |altCASE(pl/du)=. Multiple alternative forms can be specified by adding a number greater than 1 after the original parameter name, e.g. |altgen2=. Notes can also be added with |altCASE_note=.

Post-position

Post-posed adjectives can be specified with |adj=. The broken forms of adjectives are automatically generated, but in the case of absolute irregularity, |adjbreak= can be used. For all other non-alternating elements in post-position, |post= can be specified. All elements in post-position are appended after the generation of the base noun, i.e. they do not need to be respecified in irregularity parameters. Definite articles included in |adj= will be adjusted accordingly, but they must be cited in the nominative. Alternatively, |def(inite)= can be specified.

{{rad-decl|ter|u|dz|adj=irúș|adjbreak=iruuș|type=du}}

Articles

Articles can be appended by using |def(inite)= and |g(ender)=in (default) or |g(ender)=an. If there is a post-posed adjective, the article will automatically be post-posed.
