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, *bwiyeti, and *ɸalnati)
Preterite active modifiers
[edit]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”))
