Usage

This template generates a Swahili class denomination with a link to Appendix:Swahili noun classes. Both the prefix and the number are included: the prefix because it is way more informative to non-linguists, and the number to disambiguate.

The default is as follows:

• {{sw-cl|12}}

  m-wa class_(I/II)

Capitalization is toggled with the upper= parameter:

• {{sw-cl|56|upper=y}}

  Ji-ma class_(V/VI)

The word “class” can be removed with the nocl= parameter:

• {{sw-cl|18|nocl=y}}

  mu_(XVIII)
