Hi there,

In the Finnish declension class "ovi" it is possible to define the nominal singular independently from the rest of the inflection by including |nom_sg=whatevertext into the declension template, see e.g. veli. I wonder if this feature could be made available for all declension classes. It would be useful with many loanwords which do not fit the Finnish declension system without difficulty. Obviously, one could do it by copying the line:

local nom_sg = args["nom_sg"]; if nom_sg == "" then nom_sg = nil end

to every individual section that handles the declension classes, but I wonder if there's a more "centralized" way of doing it.
