Double masculine

Dear @Saltmarsh! These participles (they are all participles, active present declinable, formal as in the ancient declension), also have an alternative.masculine.singular with the more modern ending -οντας. O μέλλων (méllon) = ο μέλλοντας (méllontas). The two sequences for the masculine.singular are:

• formal: ο τρέχων, του τρέχοντος, τον τρέχοντα, τρέχων! (or μέλλων, which is also a noun.)
• modern: ο τρέχοντας, του τρέχοντα, τον τρέχοντα, τρέχοντα!

Because all other columns remain identical, we have presented them together at this declension.table@el.
They give 2 categories: At lemma μέλλων = Cat.participles -ων-ουσα-ον. At lemma μέλλοντας = Cat.participles-οντας-ουσα-ον. But the table is identical.

• But here, at en.wikt, they could be an overall Cat. -ων/οντας-ουσα-ον to make it less complicated. No real need to split them.

For very very formal, dated or archaic, we have added a parameter to eliminate the modern endings sequence, something like |masc2=- or |m2=-
This double pattern occurs for all -ων declinable formal active present participles (both forms are quite frequent in texts about economy or politics).

• παρών (el) (parón).παρούσα.παρόν {{el-decl-adj-ών-ούσα-όν}}
• τρέχων (el) (tréchon).τρέχουσα.τρέχον {{el-decl-adj-ων-ουσα-ον}}
• μειοψηφών (el) (meiopsifón).μειοψηφούσα.μειοψηφούν = "who has the less votes" The μειοψηφούν κόμμα party
• & κυβερνών (el) (kyvernón).κυβερνώσα.κυβερνών = "who governs at the moment" The κυβερνών κόμμα)

Would you consider this double/masculine table? ‑‑Sarri.greek ^♫ I 21:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
