This template is used to create definition lines for inflected (non-lemma) forms of other non-Roman Pali terms. It use Module:form of as a back-end, and channels the parameters via {{inflection of}}
. It links to the other form in both the non-Roman script and its Roman script equivalent, and will display the transliteration to Roman script if different to the equivalent. It is not intended for and will not work for Roman script Pali; use {{inflection of}}
for the Roman script.
This template takes the same general parameters as {{l}}
and {{m}}
, and it uses the same post-processing on the parameters. This includes script detection, removing diacritics, processing embedded links, and so on.
This template exists because of problems with the use of the original template {{inflection of}}
, which have been raised at WT:Grease pit/2021/June#Pali Transliteration Issues. Because of the existence of multiple spelling systems, one spelling may mean different things in different writing systems. Some Lao writing systems for Pali drop distinctions that are not reflected in the Lao pronunciation. Consequently, the automatic Romanisation, the correct Romanisation and the Roman script equivalent may all be different. As a knock-on effect, replacing the transliteration field by a link causes the page to be placed in Category:Pali terms with non-redundant manual transliterations.

that are recognized internally will automatically be linked to the appropriate entry in Appendix:Glossary (or in some cases, to the relevant Wiktionary or Wikipedia entry). As an example, nominative
is displayed as nominative, with an appropriate link. Certain tags are recognised as shortcuts and are equivalent to spelling out the tag. For example, 1
is equivalent to first-person
; both will be displayed as first-person. Similarly, f
is equivalent to feminine
, and nom
is equivalent to nominative
. The full, up-to-date list of recognized tags and their shortcuts and display forms is specified below.nom|f|s
will be displayed as nominative feminine singular. However, when punctuation characters are used as tags, they will be displayed appropriately for that punctuation character. For example, nom|,|with|3|s|object
will display as nominative, with third-person singular object (i.e. without a space preceding the comma). Among the punctuation characters recognized and handled correctly are comma, colon, parens, brackets, slash, and hyphen. The full list can be found below.//
separators between one or more tags or shortcuts to create a list separated by slashes. For example, writing nom//acc

Other items (such as "atelic") may be used as needed, but should be spelled out in full (see examples).
These need to be replaced.
On the page for the Spanish non-lemma form aman:
# {{inflection of|es|amar||3|p|pres|act|ind}}gives
On the page for the Russian non-lemma form пути́ (putí):
# {{inflection of|ru|путь||gen//dat//pre|s|;|nom//acc|p}}gives
Note here how the //
separator separates tags when multiple tags apply, and ;
separates inflections. When ;
is used, the display format changes to a multi-line format, as shown. Furthermore, since the lemma is in a non-Latin script in a language with automatic transliteration, that transliteration is automatically shown.
On the page for the Japanese non-lemma form 飛び移らず (tobiutsurazu):
# {{inflection of|ja|飛び移る||neg|continuative|tr=tobiutsuru}}gives
Note here how an unrecognized tag continuative
is used. Such tags need to be spelled out in full, and won't be linked to anything. Furthermore, in this case, although Japanese uses a non-Latin script, no automatic transliteration is available, so the transliteration needs to be manually supplied if desired.
The following part-of-speech tags are available for use as the |p=
or |POS=
parameter. Note that either the full (canonical) form or any of the short forms can be used and are equivalent.
