@Atitarev, AryamanA This is an example of an adjective-noun expression with a declinable adjective. Since it's feminine it doesn't decline but there must be examples with masculine nouns. Also, can this really be pluralized? Benwing2 (talk) 22:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Benwing2, Atitarev: Pretty much anything can be pluralised in Hindi, although it may not be very common or attested in some cases; grammatically there is no real distinction forced between countable and uncountable. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
One example is अंडे का शहज़ादा (aṇḍe kā śahzādā), the first element does not decline (masc. obl.), the second element behaves as an adjective (the genitive agrees in gender with its object), and the third element is masculine. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 23:01, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev, AryamanA Thanks, I'll fix the module to handle this. Benwing2 (talk) 23:09, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
