Template:cel-conj/documentation

This template creates an inflection table for Proto-Celtic verbs, calling upon Module:cel-verbs for finite verbal forms and Module:cel-adjectives for the past participle. It takes five positional parameters:

{{cel-conj|bere|bibrā|birt|brit|beras}}

• |1= the present stem (3rd person singular minus -ti)
• |2= the future stem
• |3= the preterite active stem (defaults to the suffixless preterite with stative endings)
• |4= the passive participle stem (participle minus -os)
• |5= the subjunctive stem (usually contains -s- except for a few verbs, namely *klinutor, *buyeti, and *ɸalnati)

Preterite active modifiers

There are many preterite formations in Celtic. By default, the template assumes the verb takes a suffixless preterite. The stative endings are also applied by default if given a preterite stem. If one wants to set a different preterite formation, tags may be appended to the end of the stem.

• <st> forces an s-preterite
• <t> forces a t-preterite
• <xt> forces a t-preterite with velar-final roots
• <oh> deals with preterites ending in -ū in the singular (like that of *dāti (“to give”))
