ഫലകം:Etymology

ഫലകത്തിന്റെ വിവരണം

Takes groups of three parameters (triplets) that indicate a part of an etymology and produces formatted output. It is highly recommended that in-line etymologies be placed within parentheses, i.e. ({{etymology}}).

Usage

{{etymology|language1|orthography1|meaning1
           |language2|orthography2|meaning2
           |language3|orthography3|meaning3
               ... }}

Between one and six triplets can be specified, each of which can have the following parameters (which can be left blank or, at the end of the list, omitted entirely):

language: The ISO 639 code or name for the language. This might be omitted if the language is obvious (e.g. the same as the language of the previous part, or English).
orthography: How the word or words are written in the original language. If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet the orthography should be surrounded by two single quotes (apostrophes) before and after to avoid automatic italicizing (see ), followed by a transliteration within parentheses.
meaning: Concise English meaning of the word. This could be a link if appropriate.

Notes

For each triplet, at least one of language and orthography must be specified (non-blank).
If the original language uses a non-Latin alphabet (or no alphabet at all), the orthography should be followed by a transliteration within parentheses.
This template may also be coded using the shortened form, {{ety}}.
