Template:ga-decl-m2/documentation

Usage

This template is for Irish masculine nouns of the second declension, of which im, sliabh, and teach may be the only examples.

{{ga-decl-m2|1|2|3|pl=|dat=|datoc=}}

The three positional parameters and pl= are obligatory; the other two named parameters are optional.

• 1 is the initial letter of the word (case-sensitive); if the first letter is s, then the first two letters of the word should be listed here
• 2 is the nominative singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
• 3 is the genitive singular form of the noun, omitting the initial letter(s)
• pl= should be followed by the complete plural form, omitting the initial letter(s)
• dat= should be followed by the complete dative singular form, omitting the initial letter(s) (if the noun has a distinct dative singular), or be omitted (if the noun has a dative singular identical in form to the nominative singular)
• datoc= marks the circumstances under which the distinctive dative form occurs; it must be set to one of the following:
  • a if it occurs only in archaic and dialectal texts and not in the standard language at all
  • p if it occurs in the standard language only in certain phrases
  • s if it occurs in the standard language under all or almost all circumstances
