Template:la-adecl/documentation

This template creates a declension table for all types of Latin adjective (including multiword/multipart adjectives). It replaces the ten or so templates that used to exist.

Basic usage
Most of the time, just specifying the lemma is enough, e.g.:



For third-declension adjectives of three terminations, you need to give a hint that the adjective is third-declension (otherwise, it will be assumed to be first/second-declension):



Sometimes you have to give the stem, if not deducible from the lemma (the rules for deducing the stem are the same as for ):



For third-declension non-i-stem adjectives, you need to specify this explicitly using the  subtype:



Sometimes you need to combine an explicit stem, partial or total specification of the declension, and a subtype:



In the latter case, it's not enough to indicate that the adjective is third-declension using, because it will then be assumed to be an adjective of three terminations, as with  above. In this case, you need to specify the full declension  to indicate that it is third-declension of one termination. The same must always be done with participles, e.g.:


 * (present active participle of ):

The reason for this is that participles decline differently in the ablative singular from adjectives in -ns such as and, and adjectives in -ns are by default assumed to be the latter type.

Parameters
The following parameters are allowed:
 * 1: Lemma with macrons, optionally along with a code indicating the declension and subtype(s) (see below).
 * num: Number restriction, if not specified as a subtype.
 * title: Override the automatically-generated title.
 * footnote: Provide a note to be displayed below the table.
 * noneut: Don't display the neuter. Used for gendered nouns derived from adjectives, such as,.

The general form for the declension/subtype code is, i.e. the declension (omitted,  , or the exact declension, namely  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,   or  ), followed by a   sign, followed by zero or more subtypes, separated by periods. A bare lemma is equivalent to the lemma followed by.
