This template is used for the headword line of Irish nouns.

Usage

{{ga-noun|head=|1|g2=|2|gen2=|3|pl2=}}

Parameters

|1=

The gender of the noun. Please enter m or f, or m-p or f-p for plural nouns, depending on the gender.

|g2=

Additional gender or plural. If the noun is both masculine and feminine, type |g=m|g2=f. If the noun is both masculine and feminine, and if it is also plural, type |g=m-p|g2=f-p.

|2=

The genitive singular form of the noun. The following shortcuts exist:

~ means the genitive singular is identical to the nominative singular (fourth declension)

~a means the genitive singular is formed by adding -a to the nominative singular

~e means the genitive singular is formed by adding -e to the nominative singular

In all other cases, the genitive singular must be written out in full.

|3=

The nominative plural of the noun. If the noun has no plural form, put - (a hyphen) here. The following shortcuts exist:

~a means the nominative plural is formed by adding -a to the nominative singular

~acha means the nominative plural is formed by adding -acha to the nominative singular

~aí means the nominative plural is formed by adding -aí to the nominative singular

~anna means the nominative plural is formed by adding -anna to the nominative singular

~cha means the nominative plural is formed by adding -cha to the nominative singular

~e means the nominative plural is formed by adding -e to the nominative singular

~eacha means the nominative plural is formed by adding -eacha to the nominative singular

~eanna means the nominative plural is formed by adding -eanna to the nominative singular

~í means the nominative plural is formed by adding -í to the nominative singular

~nna means the nominative plural is formed by adding -nna to the nominative singular

~ta means the nominative plural is formed by adding -ta to the nominative singular

~te means the nominative plural is formed by adding -te to the nominative singular

~tha means the nominative plural is formed by adding -tha to the nominative singular

~the means the nominative plural is formed by adding -the to the nominative singular

In all other cases, the nominative plural must be written out in full.

|head=

Specifies a different headword. Particularly useful for (idiomatic) phrases, which allow one to link individual words or subphrases.

|gen2=

Specifies an alternate genitive form, if needed. The same shortcuts as given above for |2= can be used here.

|vngen=

Specifies a genitive form specific to a verbal noun sense, if this is distinct from the genitive for the substantive sense. There are no shortcuts for this form.

|pl2=

Specifies an alternate nominative plural form, if needed. The same shortcuts as given above for |3= can be used here.

|suff=1

Indicates that the word is a suffix instead of a real noun. This places the entry in a different category.

|altform=1

Indicates that the word is an alternative form (e.g. a dialectal form, a superseded or obsolete spelling, or other nonstandard form). This puts the word into CAT:Irish alternative forms rather than CAT:Irish nouns and CAT:Irish lemmas.
