Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Russian verbs type 3, test module/reply (8)

Hi,

The further research shows that it's even more complicated that I thought.

Numbers 5 and 6 in Zaliznyak's book mean the following and in ru:wikt are supposed to mean (often inconsistent):

5 - short forms are allowed for past tense forms 6 - short forms are allowed for past active participle - дости́гший, дости́гнувший

One is not always dependent on the other.

The stress pattern "a" is more diverse than "b" and "c" where the ending is stressed, so I will have trouble with those.

I'd like to be able to control this and make additional parameters to show both and short form or just one of them. What do you think. To make some reference to perhaps the only serious reference that documents this feature, I would like to use numbers 5 and 6 or their combination. What do you say? It's much better to set up a more flexible function then trying to fix it when a lot of verbs start using the template.
