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!

Exceptional cases

There might be exceptional cases, nouns that have so many phonological changes that the templates can't accommodate. In those cases don't worry and just contact me (Najahho) and I'll fix it!
