This template generates an unlinked family name and a colon, which is useful for grouping languages together in Descendants sections when a proto-form cannot be provided. It is implemented using the descendant_family function in Module:etymology/templates/descendant.

{{descendant}} with the proto-language of the family should be used instead if a proto-form exists. This template can be used in cases where the existence of a proto-form is not likely.

Parameters

|1= (required)

The family code (see Wiktionary:Families) for the family comprising the languages of the descendant term(s).

|bor=1

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

|lbor=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the family name with the tooltip "learned borrowing", to indicate that the term is a learned borrowing.

|slb=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the family name with the tooltip "semi-learned borrowing", to indicate that the term is a semi-learned borrowing. (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 family name with the tooltip "calque", to indicate that the term is a calque.

|pclq=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the family name with the tooltip "partial calque", to indicate that the term is a partial calque.

|sml=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the family name with the tooltip "semantic loan", to indicate that the term is a semantic loan.

|translit=1

Adds an arrow (→) before the family name with the tooltip "transliteration", to indicate that the term is a transliteration.

|der=1

Adds a double arrow (⇒) before the family name with the tooltip "reshaped by analogy or addition of morphemes". Use this when all descendant terms derive by the addition of a morpheme (affix) or by analogical leveling, rather than by regular sound change. This can be used in conjunction with one of the above single-arrow parameters.

|unc=1

Adds a sign to mark the provenance of all descendant terms as uncertain.

|t=

A gloss or short translation of the descendant terms. Can be used when a semantic shift is common to all descendants.

|qq=

Adds an arbitrary qualifier after the family name.
