Being overly pedantic, I wanted to note that
(a) Most dictionaries are also declension-aries,
(b) I really like your word declension-ary,
and (c) Declension is what you do to nouns and is analogous to conjugation of verbs, which I think is what you are looking for :-)
- benpbenp 16y agoYes, and inflection is the general case which includes declension and conjugation. It's unfortunate that most people are only aware of the other meaning of inflection, having to do with tone of voice.
