@Erutuon: I assume you removed this because of a module error, but the comparative and superlative are now given as **χονδρώτερος and **χονδρώτατος instead of the correct χονδρότερος and χονδρότατος. Pinging @JohnC5 as well. --Barytonesis (talk) 20:11, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Barytonesis: Oh, hm. Perhaps we need to add support for the |hp= parameter then. — Eru·tuon 20:23, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
What did the |hp= parameter do? —JohnC5 05:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
@JohnC5: from {{grc-adecl}}: "|hp= Short for "heavy penult", to be used as a shortcut when an adjective in -ος (-os) has a penult that is long by position: that is, contains two consonants, including ξ (x), ψ (ps), ζ (z). Such an adjective will have comparative and superlative forms in -ότερος, -ότᾰτος (-óteros, -ótatos); without this argument the template would generate -ώτερος, -ώτᾰτος (-ṓteros, -ṓtatos)." --Barytonesis (talk) 17:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
The parameter is actually still used by the module, so I've added it to the list of recognized adjective parameters, and now the comparative and superlative are correct. — Eru·tuon 17:32, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
But really the module ought to be able to figure out that the penult is heavy. At the moment, it's only basing its decision on there being a long vowel at the end of the stem, which is incomplete. — Eru·tuon 17:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, this should be automated. —JohnC5 21:41, 10 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
