This template is used to create definition lines for inflected (non-lemma) forms of other terms. It use Module:form of as a back-end.

This template takes the same general parameters as {{l}} and {{m}}, and it uses the same post-processing on the parameters. This includes script detection, removing diacritics, processing embedded links, and so on.

Parameters

|1=

The language code of the lemma, of which this is an inflection. See Project:List of languages. The parameter |lang= is a deprecated synonym; please do not use. If this is used, all numbered parameters move down by one.

|2=

The lemma form of the term of which this is an inflection. This is used to create a link.

|3= or |alt=

The alternative display form of the lemma. This works like the third parameter of {{l}} and {{m}}.

|4=, |5= ... etc.

One or more grammar tags to show. These give the definition by describing the relevant grammatical properties of this inflected form. A grammar tag can potentially be any text, but certain tags such as nominative, feminine, first-person or subjunctive that are recognized internally will automatically be linked to the appropriate entry in Appendix:Glossary (or in some cases, to the relevant Wiktionary or Wikipedia entry). As an example, nominative is displayed as nominative, with an appropriate link. Certain tags are recognised as shortcuts and are equivalent to spelling out the tag. For example, 1 is equivalent to first-person; both will be displayed as first-person. Similarly, f is equivalent to feminine, and nom is equivalent to nominative. The full, up-to-date list of recognized tags and their shortcuts and display forms is specified below.

Multiple tags are normally separated by spaces, so that e.g. nom|f|s will be displayed as nominative feminine singular. However, when punctuation characters are used as tags, they will be displayed appropriately for that punctuation character. For example, nom|,|with|3|s|object will display as nominative, with third-person singular object (i.e. without a space preceding the comma). Among the punctuation characters recognized and handled correctly are comma, colon, parens, brackets, slash, and hyphen. The full list can be found below.

It is also possible to put // separators between one or more tags or shortcuts to create a list separated by slashes. For example, writing nom//acc will expand to nominative/accusative, and writing nom//acc//voc//dat will expand to nominative/accusative/vocative/dative

The inflection tag ; is recognized specially and is used to separate two inflections of the same word. Sets of tags separated by a semicolon tag will be displayed on separate lines. See examples below.

|t=

A gloss or short translation of the word. The parameter |gloss= is a deprecated synonym; please do not use.

|tr=

Transliteration for non-Latin-script words, if different from the automatically-generated one.

|ts=

Transcription for non-Latin-script words whose transliteration is markedly different from the actual pronunciation. Should not be used for IPA pronunciations.

|p= or |POS=

Part-of-speech tag or abbreviation (see below). Currently used only for categorization, which depends on the particular inflection tags and the language in question. Note that there are related templates {{noun form of}}, {{verb form of}} and {{adj form of}}, which are exactly like {{inflection of}} but automatically set (respectively) the |p=n, |p=v and |p=a parameters.

|id=

A sense id for the term, which links to anchors on the page set by the {{senseid}} template.

|sc=

Script code to use, if script detection does not work.

Grammar tags

The following grammar tags are available for shortcut use in entering descriptions as per Module:form of/data (more common tags) and Module:form of/data2 (less common tags):

Other items (such as "atelic") may be used as needed, but should be spelled out in full (see examples).

Examples

Example 1

On the page for the Spanish non-lemma form aman:

# {{inflection of|es|amar||3|p|pres|act|ind}}

gives

1. third-person plural present active indicative of amar

Example 2

On the page for the Russian non-lemma form пути́ (putí):

# {{inflection of|ru|путь||gen//dat//pre|s|;|nom//acc|p}}

gives

Note here how the // separator separates tags when multiple tags apply, and ; separates inflections. When ; is used, the display format changes to a multi-line format, as shown. Furthermore, since the lemma is in a non-Latin script in a language with automatic transliteration, that transliteration is automatically shown.

Example 3

On the page for the Japanese non-lemma form 飛び移らず (tobiutsurazu):

# {{inflection of|ja|飛び移る||neg|continuative|tr=tobiutsuru}}

gives

1. negative continuative of 飛び移る (tobiutsuru)

Note here how an unrecognized tag continuative is used. Such tags need to be spelled out in full, and won't be linked to anything. Furthermore, in this case, although Japanese uses a non-Latin script, no automatic transliteration is available, so the transliteration needs to be manually supplied if desired.

Part-of-speech tags

The following part-of-speech tags are available for use as the |p= or |POS= parameter. Note that either the full (canonical) form or any of the short forms can be used and are equivalent.

Canonical part of speech	Shortcut(s)
adjective	a, adj
adverb	adv
article	art
cardinal numeral	cnum
conjunction	conj
determiner	det
interjection	int, intj
intransitive verb	vi
noun	n
numeral	num
ordinal numeral	onum
participle	part
particle	pcl
postposition	postp
preposition	pre, prep
pronoun	pro, pron
proper noun	pn, proper
transitive and intransitive verb	vti
transitive verb	vt
verb	v, vb

Categorization

Some languages will add the non-lemma form to a category, depending on the particular tags and on the presence/absence of the |p=/|POS= parameter (the absence of this parameter disables most but not all categorization; in particular, categorization for participles may work in the absence of a part-of-speech parameter). The exact conditions under which this happens are described in Module:form of/cats, but the following is a list of all language-specific categories that may be added:
