Template:ar-noun-inf-cons/documentation

This template is for displaying the headword line of Arabic nouns in the informal/construct-state form, principally for nouns whose lemma ends in (e.g.  and whose informal and nominative/genitive construct-state and definite-state forms end in, written in unvocalized text with an extra letter. The reason to include a special entry for the informal/construct-state form is the fact that it is spelled differently in unvocalized text from the lemma, which is not the case for most nouns. This template can also be used for nouns whose lemma ends in  (e.g. ) or  (e.g. ) by specifying the parameter y, but there is less need to do so because the informal/construct-state form has the same unvocalized spelling as the lemma.

This template should go in the place where the headword-line template normally goes, but also provides the definition.

The equivalent template for adjectives is.
