{{documentation subpage}}
This template is a shortcut form [[High Valyrian]] etymology sections, although it could be relatively easy to generalize to any language.

==Parameters==
; {{para|1}}
This parameter can take two values, <code>b</code> and <code>c</code>. The former treats the word as a borrowing, and the latter treats it as a compound.
===Borrowed mode===
; {{para|2}}
Name of the language the term is from. Automatically capitalized.
; {{para|3}}
The foreign term. Generates a link to the corresponding Contionary entry.
; {{para|dt}}
If present, this text will replace the display of {{para|3}}, i.e. the link will remain the same.
; {{para|4}} or {{para|m}}
This adds an optional meaning to the foreign word.
; Example of usage
{{temp|qhv-etym|b|Dothraki|arakh|dt=example|m=sword}}  (It will still link to ''arakh''.) → {{qhv-etym|b|Dothraki|arakh|dt=example|m=sword}}

===Compound mode (default)===
; {{para|2}}, {{para|3}}, and {{para|4}}
Elements of the compound. '''Note:''' It currently only supports tripart compound words since, as far as I know, no High Valyrian entries have more than that amount. Additionally, if {{para|2}} or {{para|3}} ({{para|4}} if present) end or begin respectively with a hyphen, it automatically places the entry to a category by affix.
; {{para|m1}}, {{para|m2}}, and {{para|m3}}
Optional meaning for each element.
; Example of usage
{{temp|qhv-etym|c|daomio|līrinon|m1=rain|m2=smile}} → {{qhv-etym|c|daomio|līrinon|m1=rain|m2=smile}}
