Current text:

We give a word’s inflections without indentation in the line below the “Part of speech” header. There is no separate header for this. For uninflected words it is enough to repeat the entry word in boldface. Further forms can be given in parentheses.

Proposed text:

The headword line is the line directly below the part of speech header, in which the word is repeated, along with a romanization if applicable. You can use either the generic template or language-specific templates, such as  for English nouns. In some languages, additional information such as genders and inflected forms are found in the headword line.
