Use this template to display the inflection line of all Latin gerunds. Use this template only on the lemma form of the gerund (accusative singular). For all other forms use {{la-gerund-form}}

The template adds the entry to Category:Latin gerunds. As with other Wiktionary part of speech templates, please do not use subst:.

The template requires one or two parameters.

|1= the lemma with macrons (if any), including the -um inflectional ending.

|2= the gerundive form with macrons (if any), if it differs from the automatically generated gerundive form.

|2=- if there is no gerundive forms.

1. First conjugation gerund with no macrons - amandum (“loving”)

   {{la-gerund|amandum}}

   amandum (accusative, gerundive amandus)

2. Third conjugation gerund with macrons - invādendum (“assaulting, invading”)

   {{la-gerund|invādendum}}

   invādendum (accusative, gerundive invādendus)

3. Irregular gerundive - eundum (“going, proceeding”)

   {{la-gerund|eundum|eundum}}

   eundum (accusative, gerundive eundum)

   Because the gerundive does not have the expected form, the second parameter is included.

4. No gerundive - edendum (“eating, consuming”)

   {{la-gerund|edendum|-}}

   edendum (accusative, no gerundive)

   The value of the second parameter as "-" indicates that there is no gerundive.
