Notes
[edit]This template should be thought of as similar to an O.O. method, which takes a conjugation object consisting of the singular and plural of a verb, and gets the plural. Currently this is implemented as a slash-joined pair, but there is no guarantee that that will always be the case, so this template should be used to get the value.
