Usage[edit]

This template is for Irish feminine nouns of the second declension that have no plural form (e.g. mass nouns, places, given names, etc.).

{{ga-decl-f2-nopl|1|2|3|dat=|datoc=}}

The three positional parameters are obligatory; the two named parameters are optional.

  • 1 is the initial letter of the word (case-sensitive). If the first letter is s, then the first two letters of the word should be listed here
  • 2 is the nominative singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
  • 3 is the genitive singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
  • dat= should be followed by the complete dative singular form, omitting the initial letter(s) (if the noun has a distinct dative singular), or be omitted (if the noun has a dative singular identical in form to the nominative singular)
  • datoc= marks the circumstances under which the distinctive dative form occurs; it must be set to one of the following:
    • a if it occurs only in archaic and dialectal texts and not in the standard language at all
    • p if it occurs in the standard language only in certain phrases
    • s if it occurs in the standard language under all or almost all circumstances
