This template is for Arabic collective nouns (nouns which are grammatically singular but have a plural meaning, and where the equivalent feminine noun has a singulative meaning). The equivalent feminine noun, with singulative meaning, should use {{ar-sing-noun}}. See شجر for an example of a collective noun that uses many of the parameters below.

Parameters

1= and head2=, head3= ...

Overrides the displayed headword. This should be used to provide the vocalized equivalent of page name (i.e. with vowel diacritics). Should always be included.

Additional parameters are available if there are multiple possible vocalized equivalents of page name.

tr= and tr2=, tr3= ...

Transliteration. Normally unnecessary if the vocalized form was already provided, as it will be automatically derived. But see comments in {{ar-noun}} about irregular spellings of borrowed nouns and consequent need to specify transliterations (see also Wiktionary:About Arabic#Romanization).

If multiple vocalised variants of the page name were provided, then each one has a corresponding numbered trN= parameter.

2=, g=

Gender: m or f or mf (rare).

sing=

Singulative form, with vowel diacritics if known.

singtr=

Transliteration of singulative. Generally unnecessary if vowels were provided.

Dual form, with vowel diacritics if known.

Additional parameters are available if there are multiple possible dual forms.

dtr= and d2tr=, d3tr= ...

Paucal form, with vowel diacritics if known.

Additional parameters are available if there are multiple possible paucal forms.

pauctr= and pauc2tr=, pauc3tr= ...

Transliteration of paucal. Generally unnecessary if vowels were provided.

If multiple paucal forms were provided, then each one has a corresponding numbered paucNtr= parameter.
