Re: lenition of s: thank you. That was exactly the detail I knew I was missing, but could neither remember nor find. I suppose the  ord  invocation will need to be strongly deprecated, then.

Re: naming: I would be replacing the tables with their *2 version, of which only the masc exists so far. It's complicated to write, and complicated squared to do anything clever.

Re: page titles: I'm ahead of you there. If you look at the *2 template, it shows the lenited/nasalised version, but links to the unmutated form.

Part of the joy is figuring out how to do the calculations of which form to infer if it's not specified for a given declension. This, of course, changes per stem as well as per gender. -o- and -io- currently get a correct table with only ns, as, gs and ds supplied. I'm trying to extract these patterns from Strachan and to a lesser extent Thurneysen, but it's almost as brain-stretching as is writing the templates in the first place.
