Latin Declension Case Ending Identifier
Return all exact caller paradigm matches for an observed Latin ending, retaining case/number ambiguity; no stem recognition, dialect or lexeme inference.
Description
Latin endings can be shared by several paradigm positions.
Latin endings can be shared by several paradigm positions.1
An exact ending match should preserve ambiguity and any material macrons rather than select one case automatically. Use Latin Declension Case Ending Identifier to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below.
When to use Latin Declension Case Ending Identifier
Use Latin Declension Case Ending Identifier to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below. Choose the applicable era, source or grammatical convention and independently establish the annotations or numerical assumptions.
How to use Latin Declension Case Ending Identifier and understand its results
- Choose the applicable era, source or grammatical convention and independently establish the annotations or numerical assumptions.
- Enter Observed ending, Caller verified endings, Caller verified paradigm labels using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
- Read Possible Paradigm Labels in the Result object; interpret the units, signs, ordering and unknown-value placeholders described below.
- Correct reported input errors and rerun. Apply successful results according to their specific meanings and check the assumptions before using them in a decision.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedEnding | Observed ending | string | Required; constraints below |
| callerVerifiedEndings | Caller verified endings | array of string | Required; constraints below |
| callerVerifiedParadigmLabels | Caller verified paradigm labels | array of string | Required; constraints below |
Enter a nonempty observed ending and aligned nonempty arrays of nonempty verified endings and nonblank paradigm labels. Match endings exactly, including macrons and capitalization, and return every matching label in caller order. Repeated endings and labels are retained; no match returns empty. The tool does not identify a stem, strip word forms or select one case from ambiguous morphology.
possibleLabels = labels[i] where verifiedEnding[i]==observedEnding Use the field order, units and branch conditions described above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named result fields below. | object |
| result.possibleParadigmLabels | Possible Paradigm Labels | array of string |

}Limitations and assumptions
An exact ending match should preserve ambiguity and any material macrons rather than select one case automatically. Apply the exact scope and assumptions explained above.
All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are explained above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. Input errors differ from successful false results, empty match lists and unknown-evidence placeholders.
