Template:ar-adj-an/documentation

This template is for displaying the headword line of Arabic adjectives that end in ـًى (-an) (e.g. مُثَنًّى (muṯannan, “double”)). The feminine, plural and feminine plural are regular but complex, and it is easier to have a template produce them.

Certain other templates are available for other types of regular adjectives:

1. Adjectives with a regular feminine and sound masculine plural, such as مُفَضَّل (mufaḍḍal, “preferable”) and other augmented participles, should use {{ar-adj-sound}}.
2. Relative adjectives (nisba), such as شَرْقِيّ (šarqiyy, “eastern”), should use {{ar-nisba}}.
3. Adjectives ending in -in, such as مُسَاوٍ (musāwin, “equal”) or عَالٍ (ʕālin, “high”), should use {{ar-adj-in}}.

Parameters

|1=

Vocalized headword.

|pl=

Override the default masculine plural.

|el=

Specify an elative.
