रुग्णालय
The gender of compound words are usually determined by the final element of the compound. Since should be neuter in Marathi, according to:



the lemma should be treated neuter.

The  paradigm could be abbreviated as

For example:
 * एक रुग्णालय (direct singular: one hospital)
 * तीन रुग्णालये (direct plural: three hospitals)
 * रुग्णालया-त (oblique (locative) singular: in a/the hospital)
 * रुग्णालयां-ना (oblique (accusative-dative) plural)

The  paradigm could be shown in an entry as:



However, there is evidence of being treated as masculine as well, so in that paradigm the direct plural would be तीन रुग्णालय (three hospitals). Furthermore, since Marathi declension is a bit more complicated than at first glance (see User:Kutchkutch/mr-decl and User talk:AryamanA/sandbox), showing Marathi declension on a mass scale isn't recommended until User:AryamanA has time to work on MOD:mr-decl perhaps using MOD:hi-noun as a guide.

I don’t know Marathi language at all but somehow I knew that रुग्णालय was a Marathi word. In compounds or samāsa words in Sanskrit, it is the same विद्या (f) + आलय(m) = विद्यालय (m) and पाठ (m) + शाला (f) gives पाठशाला which is (f). I think it would be better if you can edit the page accordingly (and not I). Regards,  शान्तनुः ( मया सह वदतु • मम योगदानानि ) 09:49, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

And it is easier to read the message under an active discussion so just named it रुग्णालय. शान्तनुः ( मया सह वदतु • मम योगदानानि ) 09:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)


 * The entry has been updated. The phrase ʻboth of which are Sanskrit wordsʼ allows compounds consisting of Sanskrit elements without the compound itself being attested in Sanskrit to be shown as being derived from Sanskrit. Kutchkutch (talk) 11:05, 19 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Quite busy these days, I'm doing some fieldwork (remotely) on on top of university work. Will get around to Marathi declension soon. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 17:46, 24 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply! Yes, your life sounds very busy.


 * Since MOD:mr-IPA is now deployable, perhaps making MOD:mr-decl deployable would be the next stage of improving Marathi infrastructure within the greater goal of improving the infrastructure of Indo-Aryan languages. Since there's still some time remaining until you work on MOD:mr-decl, perhaps that time could be used to clarify the concepts involved (such as your opinion on the incomplete User:Kutchkutch/mr-decl).


 * The issue with using R:mr:Dhongde-Wali 2009 for declension is that it's merely a summary that doesn't use Devanagari. Thus, it isn't explicit enough for a module. For example, since stem changes are an issue, there are testcases with and without stem changes at User:Kutchkutch/mr-decl. The testcases at User:Kutchkutch/mr-decl are based on declension paradigms in the Marathi Teaching Materials series by R:mr:Berntsen) along with CFILT tags to organise the declension paradigms. .
