Edits to {{ga-noun}}

Hi, could you update Template:ga-noun/documentation to reflect the changes you just made? It looks like you added an option for a second genitive form, which is fine (though apart from talamh I can't think of any Irish nouns with more than one genitive form), but it looks like you might also have added an option for "no genitive". As far as I know, all Irish nouns have a genitive, although in fourth-declension nouns it has the same form as the nominative.

Yeah, I can do that. The "no genitive" option was already there, I just did a cut and paste from what was there. (It was probably cut and pasted from somewhere else ... should I change "no genitive" to repeat the nominative lemma in that position?)

I included it for beithir, which is declined in Old Irish as both what looks like ī-stem as beithre, and as gutteral stem as bethrach. Dinneen gives only the ī-stem genitive, but Ó Dónaill gives beithreach as a variant, and beathrach is the regular genitive in Scottish Gaelic (according to Dwelly, anyway).

I'll clean up and document the changes for ga-noun. I think I will add pl2= as well
