Should we handle this differently than by using placeholder V? I'm not opposed to it, it is concise, but if someone doesn't realize the V is never written and is purely a placeholder then it's confusing, for which reason we have in the past actively avoided using this type of placeholder, moving terms with "X" and "Y" to the snowclones appendix (for better or worse) and dropping "..." when possible (though I see we still have some entries like …ใด…หนึ่ง). In this case, it seems we could pick one form to lemmatize on, e.g. the etymological form -hen or the alphabetically-first -han, and explain the variation / other forms in that entry like we do at e.g. -ko. - -sche (discuss) 00:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Most Finnish grammar sources use -V- for documenting these endings. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 14:08, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
