        call el-decl-adj-table with numbered arguments
     print values in appropriate cells
        print footers
      if 'compstem'
call el-decl-adj-degrees with 'compstem','abstem','note'
      print degrees of comparison table(s) outline
      nb 'ος-η-ο' is the standard paradigm for these forms
call el-decl-adj-ος-η-ο with 'compstem'
      sets appropriate numbered arguments for:
        call el-decl-adj-table with numbered arguments
     print values in appropriate cells
     if 'abstem'
