User:Medellia/Atelier/Ancient Greek

My main goal for Wiktionary is to improve the Ancient Greek section and provide templates to the point that it is comparable to Latin.

Nominal Templates
Nota bene: ''I am by no means saying that declension tables are limited to these forms, but rather am unable (or haven't attempted) to think of or find an example of, say, a second declension feminine noun with a properispomenal nominative. If you can in fact think of such an example, feel free to comment on the talk page and I will create an appropriate template. Medellia 18:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)''

Naming System
Please note that if there are any questions at all on Ancient Greek templates, anyone is more than welcome to ask me on my talk page, and I will do my best to provide a prompt and accurate response. Thank you. Medellia 23:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) all Greek noun/adjective templates (aside from citation forms) begin with "grc" (the Ethnologue code) and "decl," short for declension.
 * 2) the declension paradigm number (or name): i.e. "1st" or "1&2" (first and second as used for adjectives) or "at" (Attic declension)
 * 3) gender is given next; for the "standard" gender of a paradigm (F for 1st, M for the rest), gender is not included in the template name. Likewise, templates that apply to multiple genders do not denote that in the template name.
 * 4) the pattern followed: this is a little more difficult to explain! For first declension, this means eta ("eta") ending as opposed to alpha ("alp") endings &c. The pattern comes into play more for the third declension; thus far I've denoted nouns with liquid/nasal stems as "ln" and those with dental stems as "dn"
 * 5) the accentuation pattern: oxytonal is the standard case (i.e. not included in the template name):
 * 6) * "pax" paroxytonal
 * 7) * "prx" proparoxytonal
 * 8) * "per" perispomenal
 * 9) * "prp" properispomenon
 * 10) "con" is added after the accentuation if there is contraction in the paradigm
 * 11) any additional variants are listed at the end (i.e. "εος" for that type of contraction, "ν" for accusatives in ν instead of α)
