Usage[edit]

This template is for vowel-initial Irish masculine nouns in which the initial vowel changes within the declension, such as eo and iasc.

{{ga-decl-m-V|1|2|3|4|decl=|wv=}}

All these parameters except for |wv= are obligatory.

  • Parameter 1 is the nominative singular form of the noun
  • Parameter 2 is the genitive singular form of the noun
  • Parameter 3 is the nominative plural form of the noun
  • Parameter 4 is the genitive plural form of the noun
  • |decl= is the declension class; choose one of 1, 3, 4, 5, or irr (for irregular)
  • |wv= (weak vocative, must be set to “y”) is for weak first declension nouns, which have distinct vocative plurals
