When you add nouns

Besides things already discussed, pl=ekh, pl=kh, and pl=es would be nice. They don't come up too often, but I reckon it's worth adding. I can collate other requests related to pluralisation if you want. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:26, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

We've already mentioned that nouns and proper nouns need to have a parameter for the oblique form to be added. However, no mention has been made of possessives. Overall, it seems that we've chosen not to include possessives, with are regularly formed, but there is a handful of nouns with irregular possessive forms. I assume these should be in the headword-line, in which case they will need a parameter as well. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 00:24, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Can you give some examples of nouns with irregular possessives so that I know what you're talking about? The reason we generally don't include them is that, much like in English, they are clitics rather than suffixes and are tacked on to the last part of the noun phrase (אוריאלס בוך, but אוריאל ווײַנרײַכס בוך, and even פֿאָטער און מוטערס הויז). --WikiTiki89 01:09, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

For the possessive singular of yid, you'd expect yids, but instead it's yidns in Standard Yiddish. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

That's expected, because the possessive suffix is added to the dative, and ייִד is one of the words that takes the oblique suffix. --WikiTiki89 15:09, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Wikitiki89: Thank you for the prepositions! I'd completely forgotten about them, to be honest. I'm still hoping the rest of the awaited improvements are coming soon. :) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:43, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
• We also need the parameters pl3= and dim3=, along with pl3tr and dim3tr. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:08, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

  The way I'm doing it, any headword parameter will support an unlimited number of numbered alternatives. --WikiTiki89 15:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Problems

At קומען צו גאַסט, the substituent words are not automatically linked in the headword line. I see this as a bug, rather than a feature. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 06:08, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it is a bug. I will look into it. --WikiTiki89 16:39, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Fixed. --WikiTiki89 16:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Auxiliary in headword line for verbs

Following the example of German, I think we should have the auxiliary be given in the headword line, with hobn as default. Those with zayn could have it added to the headword-line template by bot (but only to existing entries that have conjugation sections; I could try to add all the needed conjugation sections first, but then that impinges on the conjugation module being expanded first). Anyway, it may not be immediately feasible, but this is definitely something I think we should do. (One temporary measure would be to have the default show nothing, to avoid having any inaccuracies, and only show hobn once we've gone through all the verbs and ascertained that there aren't any unlabelled zayn verbs.) —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Probably a good idea. --WikiTiki89 23:46, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Accel

I noticed this line:

accel = inflection.accel and form.tr and ("transliteration-" .. form.tr:gsub(" ", "_"))

It looks like it was intended to add inflection.accel, but the actual code adds only the transliteration and not the form tag itself. —Rua (mew) 12:28, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
