User:Saph668/niv-decl/documentation

Generates a declension table for Nivkh and Nighvng nouns.

Parameters

 * 1
 * Lemma form of the noun.


 * 2
 * Regional endings to display. (use  for Amur, North Sakhalin, and West Sakhalin,   for Central Sakhalin, East Sakhalin, and South Sakhalin)


 * 3
 * Consonant to use in the plural endings, in Cyrillic; use  if the lemma ends in a vowel, liquid, or nasal,   if it ends in a plosive, and   after a fricative.


 * 4
 * Consonant to use in the instrumental. For now, should be handled on a case-to-case basis by looking for attestations of the instrumental form. Otherwise, follow the same rules given for parameter 3.


 * 5
 * Consonant to use in the additive and limitative cases. Handle the same way as parameter 4.


 * 6
 * Displays locative ending -n. If left blank, will display nothing. Leave blank if the lemma ends with -n already. Note that the locative case only appears in Amur, North Sakhalin, and West Sakhalin Nivkh, so this parameter will only do anything if 2 is also.


 * head
 * Override the table title. (defaults to )

Examples

 * returns
 * returns

Note
The ablative, accusative, and additive cases have been shortened from their original names in Gruzdeva 1998 for concision. Respectively, in Gruzdeva 1998, they are locative-ablative, accusative-dative, and dative-additive.

This template sources its endings from Gruzdeva 1998.
