ਫਰਮਾ: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 uses a non-Latin alphabet 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 (  or  ), to avoid text formatting problems.
• 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}}.
