Adjective + noun phrases may be taken care of by.

Usage

 * Unnamed arguments
 * 1) the suffix for the singular definite: en, n, et or t; otherwise it is taken as the complete word. If that is used the gender must be given with the argument "g".
 * 2) the suffix for the plural indefinite: er, r, e; if empty plural indefinite is the same as singular indefinite and the plural definite gets the ending "ene", otherwise it is taken as the complete word.
 * 3) plural definite (ne in special cases with syncope, -en, -e, -ne)
 * 4) genitive singular indefinite
 * 5) genitive  singular definite
 * 6) genitive plural indefinite
 * 7) genitive plural definite
 * Named arguments
 * n=sg: for nouns with no plural forms
 * g: the gender, c, n or b, for common, neuter and both genders, respectively; if the first unnamed argument is one of "en|n|et|t" it is not needed, but else it should be given
 * dc=1: for when the ultimate consonant is doubled in declensions
 * ga=1: for when the genitive singular indefinite is the lemma with an apostrophe appended
 * base: is the singular indefinite; it defaults to PAGENAME, and is usually not needed
 * stem: in cases where a suffix is dropped in declensions, such as (museet, museer, museerne); stem=muse, 1=et, 2=er.
 * sg-def-2: for if there are two correct variations of the singular definite; must be the complete word
 * pl-indef-2: for if there are two correct variations of the plural indefinite; must be the complete word
 * pl-def-2: for if there are two correct variations of the plural definite; must be the complete word
 * gen-sg-def-2: for if there are two correct variations of the genitive singular definite; must be the complete word
 * gen-pl-indef-2: for if there are two correct variations of the genitive plural indefinite; must be the complete word
 * gen-pl-def-2: for if there are two correct variations of the genitive plural definite; must be the complete word

Examples

 * blomst -en, -er


 * bolle -n, -r


 * hund -en, -e

In this case the endings are really -en, -e, and "m" is doubled, so dc=1
 * bom -men -me


 * hun -nen, -ner

Plural indefinite is the same as singular indefinite
 * ord -et, ord -ene

There is a syncope of the plural e.
 * springer -en, -e, springerne

Words ending in s, z or x have an apostrophe in genitive form, so here the full word has to be supplied for arguments 4 and 6
 * mus -en, mus, -ene

The vowel is changed in plural forms, so here the full word has to be supplied for arguments 2 and 3
 * mand -en, mænd, mændene

Two alternatives for the singular definite, and irregular spelling
 * offer of(fe)ret, ofre
 * , or
