nominals ending in 'us' and declension #36

Open funderburkjim opened 5 years ago

funderburkjim commented 5 years ago

There are about 260 entries in lexnorm-all2 ending in 'us', about the same number as entries ending in 'is'. All of these are treated as of the 1-stem variety. They are assigned models according to gender: m_us, f_us, n_us. For two words (vapus and SatAyus, a feminine form ending in 'uzI' is given by MW); for other adjectives, the feminine model f_us is same as masculine model m_us.

The declensions are in files nominals/outputs/m_us.txt, etc. and file nominals/outputs/f_us_I.txt for the 'uzI' instances.

base for m_us, f_us, n_us

For each model, obtain the base by dropping the final 'us'.

m_us, f_us, n_us declension algorithms

Completely analogous to vowel-ending declension algorithms. In brief:

Detach prefix from final pada
Form base from final pada, as above
Join base to the endings, then apply nR sandhi as needed .
- actually, nR sandhi is never needed because of the final 's'
Reattach the pre-base padas to the results of preceding step.

Example acakzus with m_us (or f_us) model

Case	S	D	P
Nominative	acakz + uH = acakzuH	acakz + uzO = acakzuzO	acakz + uzaH = acakzuzaH
Accusative	acakz + uzam = acakzuzam	acakz + uzO = acakzuzO	acakz + uzaH = acakzuzaH
Instrumental	acakz + uzA = acakzuzA	acakz + urByAm = acakzurByAm	acakz + urBiH = acakzurBiH
Dative	acakz + uze = acakzuze	acakz + urByAm = acakzurByAm	acakz + urByaH = acakzurByaH
Ablative	acakz + uzaH = acakzuzaH	acakz + urByAm = acakzurByAm	acakz + urByaH = acakzurByaH
Genitive	acakz + uzaH = acakzuzaH	acakz + uzoH = acakzuzoH	acakz + uzAm = acakzuzAm
Locative	acakz + uzi = acakzuzi	acakz + uzoH = acakzuzoH	acakz + uHzu = acakzuHzu
Vocative	acakz + uH = acakzuH	acakz + uzO = acakzuzO	acakz + uzaH = acakzuzaH

Note: As with m_is model, Kale shows optional form for Locative plural: acakzuHzu or acakzuzzu . Refer Whitney grammar # 172.
