This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

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= can take 5 values:

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

Irregularity

Overriding

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

  • |nom=
  • |gen=
  • |dat=
  • |acc=
  • |ins=
  • |nompl=
  • |genpl=
  • |genpl_short=
{{rad-decl|hjembra|v|dat=hjembrava|type=sg}}

{{rad-decl|r|jø^ívu|H|dat=rjøà|gen=rívug|genpl=rjøșe|genpl_short=rjøșes|ins=rjøúr|nompl=rjøi}}

Alternative forms

Any cell of the table can have alternative forms specified with |altCASE(pl)=. 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.
