Template:liv-noun/documentation
{{liv-noun/forms}}.
- Go to any page (e.g., template's talk page) enter this template with all the params like you would in an entry but change {{liv-noun to {{liv-noun/forms and at the end replace }} with ||Noun}}, ||Cardinal numeral}}, etc.
- Hit preview (you do not have to save) – redlinks should be visible as headings and below them markup that should be the contents of that "form of" page to copy.
- If a heading is empty it means it's an alternative form and the heading below it has the same inflectional type.
- Two different cases (e.g., touvõ part. and touvõ ill.) – from the second copy just the line after the hash – #.
- It is a little mangled (esp. where the alternative locatives are) but nothing one couldn't make out quickly.
Universal inflection template for noun-like words (nouns, adjectives, numerals) in the Livonian language.
Exceptions:
- this template doesn't cover pronouns (at least not all of them) as a rule if the pl gen is different from pl nom you cannot use this template (this applies only to pronouns).
- Compounds with both components declinable. For this use manual entry template:
{{liv-noun-manual}}.
Cannot handle very short words where the entirety of stem shifts and plural is analogous to, e.g., singular genitive: ikš, īd, īd. Specify pl-nom-0 = 1
Currently gives a short -s, -st form for in and el however if the word will have -šõ or -štõ those will remain -s, -st. Specify in-stemend-s = 1 this disables the alternative short locatives and for the long ones what you provide in in= and el= would be passed.
Conversely it is possible to disable the long locatives completely with sl=1 (stands for "short locative") (LEL seems to have a preference for long locatives when other sources use the short ones but when LEL indicates only a short locative the long ones should be avoided as nonexistent.)
- first unnamed param – "lowest common denominator" sound that stays the same in all cases, with words like ikš - īd leave empty
- 1v – first vowel (that's going to shift)
- 2c – a consonant after a vowel that's going to shift (or if a non-shifting consonant is surrounded by components that shift also enter it and in the shifted value just give the same.)
- 3s – any sound or sounds at the end that might disappear and reappear
- 1vs – shifted value of 1v
- 2cs – shifted value of 2c
- 3ss – same
- gen-vs – does the vowel shift in singular genitive? if yes =1
- gen – any ending genitive might have, if empty - fallback value (in this case empty since gen tipically doesn't have an ending)
- gen-3s-loss – if the word had any disappearing ending does it remain absent?
...
- ill-alt-z – do you want an alternative ill ending with z, e.g., touvõ + touvõz?
...
- in-stemend-s – does the stem end in s? (disables short locatives)
...
- pl-ins-koks – is there an extra k in pl ins? (if there is in singular just give kõks to the ins= param.)
Irrelevant parameters can be deleted (see for example bäzmõr below.) However line breaks must be removed too.
For uncountable nouns specify sg=1, for pluralia tantum – pl=1.
A couple of types (containing many words, however) have an alternative sg part ending -t (see ežmi for example) – provide alt-part = t
It is recommended to provide type at the end, e.g., type=201 for ežmi which links to Appendix:Livonian declension#201
