This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

This template can generate declension tables for Basque animate nouns. It works fully automatically, unlike previous templates. However, there are a few cases in which some parameters must be entered manually, they are detailed bellow.

Parameters

[edit]
  • |dip=
    If the word is monosyllabic and ends in a diphthong, add this parameter with any value.
  • |gau=
    If the word is gau (night) (or a compound with gau as its last element), add this parameter with any value; instead of the previous one.
  • |tap=
    Some words ending in -r have an underlying final flap /-ɾ/. If the word has an underlying final flap, add this parameter with any value. A list of such words can be found here.
  • |s=
    Some words, such as names of chemical elements and languages, don't have plural forms. In these cases, add this parameter with any value.

Acronyms

[edit]

The suffixes attached to acronyms should be separeted by a hyphen. Use the parameter |hyph= with any value to add a hyphen. Since the spelling of an acronym might not indicate correctly whether the last sound is a vowel or a consonant, this has to be specified manually using |ending=V for vowels.
