Template:dsb-decl-noun-17/documentation

Usage
This template creates a declension table for Lower Sorbian masculine nouns belonging to classes 17 and 18 in both Jannasch's Deutsch-niedersorbisches Wörterbuch/Słownik němsko-delnjoserbski and Starosta's Dolnoserbsko-nimski słownik/Niedersorbisch-deutsches Wörterbuch, hence the name.

Class 17 includes those masculine nouns ending in:
 * -b (genitive in -ba)
 * -f
 * -m
 * -n
 * -p (genitive in -pa)
 * -r
 * -w (genitive in -wa).

Class 18 includes those masculine nouns ending in
 * -d
 * -zd
 * -ł
 * -t
 * -st.

It takes one or two obligatory parameters, depending on the class. For class 17 nouns, just list the nominative singular as the only parameter. For class 18 nouns, the first parameter is the first part of the noun before the final consonant(s), and the second parameter is the final consonant(s) (one of,  ,  ,  , or  ). Adding the final consonant as a second parameter works for the class 17 nouns as well, but it is not necessary for them.

In addition the optional parameter |animate=1 must be set for animate nouns whose accusative has the same form as the genitive.

For example, for the class 17 inanimate word, add:

For the class 17 animate word, add:

For the class 18 animate word, add:
