Fixing template

Hi Sangoguna:Jon Harald Søby, we need your help or someone to fix or to recreate this template. This template is about the prefix fa- in the Nias language that should change in form when it is attached to certain words. Pak Sangoguna:Slaia, could you please explain its grammatical rule here?

Thank you Wirjadisastra and Sangoguna:Jon Harald Søby. The rule for prefix fa- in Nias language is that if a word starts with the letter b (like in the word badu) the first b will be replaced by m, so it becomes famadu. And if the word stars with letter s (like in the word sasai) the s becomes n, so it becomes fanasai. That's only two example cases (there are some more), I just want to build the first rule then add all the variation later. Thank you in advance. slaiatalk 08:52, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

@Slaia: You did most of the work yourself, it seems to be working as it should now: famadu, fanasai. All I've did was copy the correct templates from the English Wikipedia. Note that I haven't copied/written any documentation for the templates, what you do for that is up to you. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:08, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much @Jon Harald Søby for this. Sure I'll create relevant documentation later on. At the moment I am still experimenting with the translation of the Nias grammar into the wiki codes. slaiatalk 10:19, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
