+@cindex @code{dn} and @code{qn} directives, ARM
+@item @var{name} .dn @var{register name} [@var{.type}] [@var{[index]}]
+@item @var{name} .qn @var{register name} [@var{.type}] [@var{[index]}]
+
+The @code{dn} and @code{qn} directives are used to create typed
+and/or indexed register aliases for use in Advanced SIMD Extension
+(Neon) instructions.  The former should be used to create aliases
+of double-precision registers, and the latter to create aliases of
+quad-precision registers.
+
+If these directives are used to create typed aliases, those aliases can
+be used in Neon instructions instead of writing types after the mnemonic
+or after each operand.  For example:
+
+@smallexample
+        x .dn d2.f32
+        y .dn d3.f32
+        z .dn d4.f32[1]
+        vmul x,y,z
+@end smallexample
+
+This is equivalent to writing the following:
+
+@smallexample
+        vmul.f32 d2,d3,d4[1]
+@end smallexample
+
+Aliases created using @code{dn} or @code{qn} can be destroyed using
+@code{unreq}.
