Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *sъklonъ. First attested in the 19th century.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /sklɔ́n/
• Rhymes: -ɔ́n
• Hyphenation: sklon

Noun

sklȍn m inan

1. (grammar) case (form of a noun or adjective for specific syntactic roles)
   • 2024 June 14, Roman Kuhar, In memoriam / Bogdan Lešnik‎^[1]:

     »Zakaj prav homoseksualnost? Je to aktualno – je to relevantno v teh težkih časih, ko so problemi povsem drugi?« se je leta 1984 cinično spraševal Lešnik v uvodniku k posebni številki glasila Viks Homoseksualnost in kultura, s katero je Škuc pospremil prvi festival Magnus. Štirideset let pozneje še vedno lahko poslušamo različice tega vprašanja, le da ni zastavljeno cinično, pač pa populistično. In tudi odgovor, ki ga daje Lešnik, je relevanten še danes: tema je aktualna in pravi problem »vseh tistih, ki so na jebeni strani, ne glede na spol, sklon ali število«.

     "Why homosexuality? Is it topical - is it relevant in these difficult times, when the problems are completely different?" asked Lešnik cynically in 1984 in an editorial to a special issue of the Viks newsletter Homosexuality and Culture, with which Škuc accompanied the first Magnus festival. Forty years later, we can still hear variations of this question, but posed not cynically, but populistically. And the answer given by Lešnik is also relevant today: the topic is topical and the real problem of "all those who are on the fucking side, regardless of gender, case or number".
