Template:Qhv-etym/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Qhv-etym. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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”).
