Ingrian partitive

@Thadh, unfortunately for this word kärpäin-declension template won't work, because this is an exception. Historically -*nen words had weak grade only in partitive (which is different to all other declension types, where nominative and partitive share the same grade), but hepoin is the only word, that preserved this feature. --KirillW (talk) 20:42, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

@KirillW: Junus' kirjakeeli uses the strong grade for all forms: I can find all forms except for partitive plural in Grammatikka (hepoista is found on pages 73 and 75), all of them use the stem hepoi-. I haven't made any dialectal templates for -in words yet though, so I'll take note that Soikkola has an exception here. Thadh (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Looks like Junus decided to align this declension. AFAIK both Ala-Laukaa and Soikkola dialects have weak grade partitive, but I will check this. --KirillW (talk) 17:30, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

It's possible for example Hevaha or Ylä-Laukaa don't, or even just some obscure subdialects of Soikkola and Ala-Laukaa. Finnish doesn't gradate heppoinen either, so I think it's more than plausible some dialects hypercorrected their declensions. Thadh (talk) 17:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
