This template generates an unlinked language name, colon, and link, as required for Descendants sections. It uses the descendant function in Module:etymology/templates.

Parameters

This template takes the same parameters as {{link}} ({{l}}) and {{term}} ({{m}}). See the documentation of those templates for details.

There are these additional parameters:

|bor=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the language name with the tooltip "borrowed". (This is to indicate that the term was borrowed.)

|slb=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the language name with the tooltip "semi-learned borrowing", and adds (semi-learned) after the term. (A semi-learned borrowing is a borrowing that happened early enough that significant sound change has since affected the term, particularly in reference to borrowing from an ancestor of the same language, e.g. a French or Spanish borrowing from Latin.)

|clq=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the language name with the tooltip "calque", and adds (calque) after the term.

|sml=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the language name with the tooltip "semantic loan", and adds (semantic loan) after the term.

|der=1

Adds a double arrow (⇒) before the language name with the tooltip "derived by addition of morphemes". Use this when the term derives by the addition of a morpheme (affix) or by analogical levelling, rather than by regular sound change. This can be used in conjunction with one of the above single-arrow parameters.

|alts=1

Adds alternative forms after the term taken from {{alter}} on the page of the term.

|sclb=1

Replaces the language name in the label with the script name, either detected from |1=, or set in |sc=.

|nolb=1

Omits the language name and following colon. Arrows and qualifiers indicating borrowings are kept. This is primarily useful in conjunction with a parameter such as |bor=1.

|unc=1

Adds a sign to mark the provenience of the term as uncertain.
