Cèṭa'an:Etymology/doc

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 is not written using the Latin script, the orthography should be surrounded by two straight single quotation marks (vertical apostrophes) '' before and after to avoid automatic italicizing (see ), followed by a transliteration within parentheses. If a transliteration is not needed, the final set of single quotation marks must be followed by a character, such as a hair space ( ) or thin space ( ), to avoid text formatting problems.
  • If the original language has no writing system, a transcription can be provided within parentheses.
• meaning: Concise English meaning (gloss) 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).
• This template may also be coded using the shortened form, {{ety}}.
