User:Najahho/Guide to Valyrian Inflection Templates
By now you might be asking yourself: "How do I even use the High Valyrian inflection templates?"
Good that you ask!
Essentially the templates are there to generate the complete table of all the declensional forms for any High Valyrian noun. You only need to know the declensional type (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), gender is not required.
What you will see
What you will see is something along these lines:
{{HVn3|
So for each type you'll change this only in the number (important: the capitalization is necessary!).
Example:
{{HVn3|ond|os}}
Here we can see an example of what a line looks like. The first entry (in this case "ond") is the root of the noun, basically the part that doesn't change, while the second is the ending, the part that changes (don't worry, we'll take about nouns that change their roots below).
Result
The template already generates everything only by entering this:
Singular | Plural | Paucal | Collective | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nominative | ondos | ondossa | ondun | ondor |
Accusative | onduni | ondori | ||
Genitive | ondo | ondoti | onduno | ondoro |
Dative | ondot | ondunto | ondorto | |
Locative | ondunno | ondorro | ||
Instrumental | ondoso | ondossi | ondusso | ondorzo |
Comitative | ondummo | ondormo | ||
Vocative | ondos | ondossas | ondusso | ondorzo |
And voilà! You don't even need to think about anything else!
Changes in the root
In the third declension solar we have some roots that change their form, for example rūs, ruhossa. In those cases (and similar ones of the aquatic gender) what we will use is the form
{{HVn3/2end|
The first part will be the nominative form of the word, while the second will be the root that changes. So, for example, in the previous word we mentioned "rūs" we will input:
{{HVn3/2end|rūs|rūh}}
And then:
Singular | Plural | Paucal | Collective | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nominative | rūs | rūhossa | rūhun | rūhor |
Accusative | rūhuni | rūhori | ||
Genitive | rūho | rūhoti | rūhuno | rūhoro |
Dative | rūhot | rūhunto | rūhorto | |
Locative | rūhunno | rūhorro | ||
Instrumental | rūso | rūhossi | rūhusso | rūhorzo |
Comitative | rūhummo | rūhormo | ||
Vocative | rūs | rūhossas | rūhusso | rūhorzo |
Voilà! It's that easy!
