Hi there. I am a little confused about (deprecated template usage) reputabel. In the Declension section you have coded "{{de-decl-adj|reputabl|reputabler|reputabelest}}". Should it actually be "{{de-decl-adj|reputabl|reputabler|reputabelst}}"? SemperBlotto (talk) 05:57, 7 August 2017 (UTC) p.s. There are other German adjectives ending in -abel that I have probably also coded wrongly, but I don't want to correct them until I'm sure.

Hi SemperBlotto, to go sure, have a look to google (Advanced Search, exact word ..., Then narrow your results by... language: German . (To get a look to the number of results, you have to click [Tools] away). For "reputabele" you will get 197 results, for "reputable" 354 thousand. There's no question what's right. Or you're looking to the german Wiktionary and writeing "Flexion:reputabel", "Flexion:übel", "Flexion:..."

There existed also some other German adjectives ending in -ibel, -kel, -pel, -tel, coded wrongly. In the moment, I don't have them all present.

I've already corrected: praktikabel, akzeptabel, passabel, blamabel, kompatibel, fungibel, flexibel, penibel, sensibel, übel, dunkel, heikel, simpel, eitel. I think you will find some more. (German "multipel" not found)

SemperBlotto: The rule is: For the adjectives on unstressed -el, the e of the ending must be deleted during the declination and in the case of comparative forms, but not at superlative forms! (Grammatik Duden)--Bestoernesto (talk) 16:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try to remember all that. And you English is far better than my touristy German. SemperBlotto (talk) 17:21, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
