Feminine and neuter

[edit]

Accents can be different in the feminine and neuter, and it would be good that they are shown, and have an alternative display parameter. Currently head= is used for the masculine, so perhaps for the feminine and neuter that would be head-f= and head-n=. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 11:55, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Why would particularly the feminine and neuter nominative singular be useful to show? Are they "principal parts"? —CodeCat 13:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Because accents can be different for different genders in the nominative singular. Since we don't have accented paradigms yet, it's useful to have them there. E.g. for *bělъ having the headword bě̃lъ m, *běla̍ f, *bělo̍ n, which more easily explains Serbo-Croatian b(ij)ȇl, b(ij)éla, b(ij)élo. Alternatively, it could all be listed as head= (with commas and {{m}}, {{g}}, {{f}}), but it seems hackish. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 15:45, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
