Yes, the article matches the noun's final vowel rather than the gender or number. Thus, "луѓе", which is plural, takes neuter singular suffixes. If you think we need separate templates, fine.

Anyway, I don't know how to use the masculine noun template. When I put the singular stem as the first parameter, the vocative as the second and the plural stem as the third, only the first parameter is used everywhere, so the template produces only wrong tables, as first of all, no masculine noun ending in a consonant has a vocative form identical to the nominative, and second of all, only about a third of masculine nouns simply add "-и" to the singular stem to form the plural. The remaining involve elision, palatalization or the suffix "-ови" and "-еви". That's why for masculine nouns, I'd need to enter three different things. Could you explain to me how to this? Also, have you accounted for the feminine nouns with the "-е" vocative within the code of the template for those with the "-o" vocative?
