Name
editI am not certain this is the best article title, so please feel free to suggest alternatives or move accordingly. I just guessed based on a translation of the Czech article and similarly-titled articles here at English Wikipedia. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Declension
editWhy is it Kostel svatého Jiljí, not svatého Jiljího? Did this name originally belong to the soft feminine adjective declension (i.e. had the -í ending throughout the singular), or perhaps long neuter declension (like braní)? 46.186.32.6 (talk) 20:02, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- Declension in relation to saint is different, see http://prirucka.ujc.cas.cz/?slovo=Jilj%C3%AD. --Jklamo (talk) 08:31, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
- Is Jiljí just an exception though, because all the examples listed there under "Psaní názvů chrámů, bazilik, kostelů, kaplí, rotund" are in the genitive – filelakeshoe (t / c) 18:22, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
- It's old vs new (analogical) genitive, not genitive vs nominative. Two rows below the table you can read poznámky k heslu: ve spojení s příd. jm. nebo ve významu svátku se ve všech pádech užívá podoby Jiljí, v 7. pádě Jiljím, i.e. the original declension was like that of neuters in -í. 89.64.81.6 (talk) 01:53, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
