Headword line

We give a word’s inflections without indentation in the line below the “Part of speech” header. There is no separate header for this. For uninflected words it is enough to repeat the entry word in boldface. Further forms can be given in parentheses.

For a noun this will simply be one of...

word (plural words)

word (uncountable)

word (plurale tantum)

...depending whether the noun has a plural, is uncountable, or is itself a plural with no singular form, respectively. For an adjective this will appear as one of...

hard (comparative harder, superlative hardest)

growling (not comparable)

...depending whether the adjective is comparable or not, respectively. For a verb you may use

to end (third-person singular simple present ends, present participle ending, simple past ended, past participle ended)

Templates are available at Wiktionary:Headword-line templates for those who prefer this technique.

Headword line

The headword line is the line directly below the part of speech header, in which the word is repeated, along with a romanization if applicable. You can use either the generic template {{head}} or language-specific templates, such as {{en-noun}} for English nouns. In some languages, additional information such as genders and inflected forms are found in the headword line.
