Template:la-conj/documentation

This template creates a conjugation table for all types of Latin verbs. It replaces the several templates that used to exist.

Basic usage
For basic verbs of conjugation classes 1, 2 and 4, specify them as follows:



Here, the  and   signs means to use the default principal parts:


 * amō, amāre, amāvī, amātum
 * habeō, habēre, habuī, habitum
 * custōdiō, custōdīre, custōdīvī, custōdītum
 * audiō, audīre, audīvī/audiī, audītum

Note the difference between, which generates a single perfect stem in -īv, and  , which generates two perfect stems in -īv and -i.

For verbs of conjugation classes 3, and more complex verbs of other conjugation classes, you will need to specify the verb class along with the lemma, perfect stem and supine stem, as follows:

For deponent verbs and semi-deponent verbs, only the supine stem is given:



The conjugation class can optionally be followed by one or more subtypes (as in the above example ):


 * : (no passives exist)
 * : (only impersonal passives exist)
 * : (the verb is optionally semi-deponent, i.e. the perfect is either placuī or placitus sum, and there is no imperative)

If there is no perfect, or no supine, just leave the form out:


 * : (or equivalently )

As shown in the previous example, when you use one of the  variants, which automatically generate default perfect and supine stems, you can cancel any of the stems using.

Impersonal and third-person-only verbs should use the third-person singular as the lemma, except for highly irregular verbs that use the conjugation type  (see below):



If the third-person singular is provided as the lemma, it is assumed to be impersonal. If the verb is third-person-only (i.e. it has both third-person singular and plural, but no other forms), use the subtype.

Parameters
The following parameters are allowed:
 * 1: Conjugation type, along with any subtypes.
 * 2: Lemma with macrons; may include links.
 * 3: Perfect stem (or supine stem if the verb is deponent or semi-deponent). Separate multiple stems with a slash.
 * 4: Supine stem, for verbs that aren't deponent or semi-deponent. Separate multiple stems with a slash.
 * prefix: Prefix to add to all forms (or to non-passive forms if passive_prefix is given); may include links.
 * passive_prefix: Prefix to add to passive forms; may include links.
 * suffix: Suffix to add to all forms (or to non-passive forms if passive_suffix is given); may include links.
 * passive_suffix: Suffix to add to passive forms; may include links.

Examples of using the prefix and suffix parameters:

In addition, any individual form can be overridden, e.g. using 1s_pres_actv_indc to override the first-singular present active indicative. See.

Subtypes
Here is a complete list of available subtypes:
 * Not detected automatically:
 * : Third-person singular and plural forms only. Places the entry into Category:Latin third-person-only verbs.
 * : ????? Currently used for only.
 * : No future tenses. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing future.
 * : No imperative. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing imperative.
 * : No passive perfect forms. Example:.
 * : No passive forms. Places the entry into Category:Latin active-only verbs.
 * : No supine stem. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing supine stem.
 * : Optional semi-deponent verbs use perfective passive forms with active meaning, but also have perfect active forms with the same meaning, and have no imperfective passive. Places the entry into Category:Latin semi-deponent verbs and Category:Latin optionally semi-deponent verbs.
 * : ????? Currently used for only.
 * : The poetic present passive infinitive form in -ier is attested.
 * : The passive voice has third-person singular and plural forms only. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with third-person passive.
 * : Impersonal in the passive voice (third-person singular passive forms only). Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with impersonal passive.
 * : The poetic syncopated perfect forms lacking -vi- or -ui- are attested.
 * : Semi-deponent verbs use perfective passive forms with active meaning, and have no imperfective passive. Places the entry into Category:Latin semi-deponent verbs.
 * : At least one sigmatic form is attested. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with sigmatic forms.
 * : At least one passive sigmatic form is attested. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with passive sigmatic forms.
 * : Used for suffix entries such as . Prevents categorisation as a verb.
 * : No supine stem except in the future active participle. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing supine stem except in the future active participle.
 * Normally detected automatically, only specified manually for certain verbs:
 * : Treat the verb as a mixed-conjugation verb like.
 * : Do not treat the verb as a mixed-conjugation verb like.
 * : Impersonal (third-person singular forms only). Only specified manually for compounds of highly irregular verbs. Places the entry into Category:Latin impersonal verbs.
 * : No perfect forms. Only specified manually for compounds of highly irregular verbs. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing perfect stem.
 * : Do not show gerund forms in -und-. Automatically enabled for verbs where the gerund stem is -uend- or -vend-.
 * Detected automatically, should never be specified manually:
 * : Deponent verb. Places the entry into Category:Latin deponent verbs.
 * : Perfect forms have present meaning. Places the entry into Category:Latin verbs with missing present stem and Category:Latin verbs with perfect forms having imperfective meanings.

Irregular verbs
Certain irregular verbs are handled specially, and should use the conjugation type, e.g.:



As shown above, compounds of irregular verbs are handled properly.

Some compounds of and  are more complex because the various forms of the base verb begin with different letters, and the prefix assumes different forms before those different letters. These are handled through extra parameters:



For, the third parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with e-, and the fourth parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with f-. For, the third parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with t- (the perfect), and the fourth parameter is the prefix to use before forms beginning with l- (the supine). In all cases, an omitted parameter defaults to the prefix found in the lemma.

In the event a compound of an irregular verb is used impersonally, use the conjugation type.

The following is the current list of recognized irregular verbs:



Overriding individual forms
In very rare cases it may be necessary to override individual forms of verbs. This is done using individual parameters for each form. See the following examples: If multiple forms are possible, separate the forms by a forward slash: coesset/cōnforet
 * For finite forms, 1s_pres_actv_indc – person (1/2/3), number (s/p), tense (pres/impf/futr/perf/plup/futp/sigf/siga), voice (actv/pasv), mood (indc/subj/impr)
 * For participles and infinitives, perf_actv_ptc – tense, voice, form (ptc/inf)
 * For gerunds and supines, ger_gen – form (ger/sup), case (gen/dat/acc/abl)
