This template is a shortcut form High Valyrian etymology sections, although it could be relatively easy to generalize to any language.

Parameters

|1=

This parameter can take two values, b and c. The former treats the word as a borrowing, and the latter treats it as a compound.

Borrowed mode

|2=

Name of the language the term is from. Automatically capitalized.

|3=

The foreign term. Generates a link to the corresponding Contionary entry.

|dt=

If present, this text will replace the display of |3=, i.e. the link will remain the same.

|4= or |m=

This adds an optional meaning to the foreign word.

Example of usage

{{qhv-etym|b|Dothraki|arakh|dt=example|m=sword}} (It will still link to arakh.) → Borrowed from Dothraki example (“sword”).

Compound mode (default)

|2=, |3=, and |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 |2= or |3= (|4= if present) end or begin respectively with a hyphen, it automatically places the entry to a category by affix.

|m1=, |m2=, and |m3=

Optional meaning for each element.

Example of usage

{{qhv-etym|c|daomio|līrinon|m1=rain|m2=smile}} → From daomio (“rain”) + līrinon (“smile”).
