Parallel to conjugation class (P5186) and has conjugation class (P5206), but not specific to verbs. This is to be used in languages where possible inflectional patterns are the same regardless of the part of speech, such as the Sámi (Q56463). Rua (talk) 19:12, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - although, at some point, someone should explain why conjugation class (P5186) should be a distinct property. Otherwise, it would make more sense to repurpose P5186 to something more general, I'd think. --Njardarlogar (talk) 09:34, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- In some languages, the later have distinct forms and apply to a specific lexical class. We do have several properties that allow to define the relevant forms. Keeping them distinct simplifies consistency checks. Obviously, for languages using P5186 one shouldn't use this property on the same entity. --- Jura 09:42, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
