Incorrect inflection of masculine name `Maria` #76

Closed tukusejssirs closed 3 years ago

I am not 100 % sure about this, however, the masculine name Maria is inflected differently from feminine name Maria.

According to prirucka.jc.cas.cz, the genitive singular of the masculine name is Marii, however, in czech-cs.txt you have the following celebration names that are in contrary to this rule.

28 de_montfort : Sv. Ludvíka Marie Grigniona z Montfortu, kněze
20 hofbauer : Sv. Klementa Marie Hofbauera, kněze
1 m alphonsus : Sv. Alfonsa Marie z Liguori, biskupa a učitele církve
4 m vianney : Sv. Jana Marie Vianneye, kněze
14 m R kolbe : Sv. Maxmiliána Marie Kolbeho, kněze a mučedníka
24 claret : Sv. Antonína Marie Klareta, biskupa

Note that I would create a PR for this, however, as I am not 100 % sure about this, I’d rather wait for your review.

I lack knowledge required to explain this phenomenon linguistically, but this is how names of these saints are written/said throughout Czech liturgical books and elsewhere, so it's definitely correct at least in this specific context ("Maria" as a male person's second name).

As you probably don't have any Czech liturgical books at home, here is a quite official and reliable online source for the calendar of Czech and Moravian dioceses. Variants deviating from it usually have no chance of being merged into calendarium-romanum.
