This template is used in the glyph origin section, similar to {{compound}}
, but specifically for Hanzi compound. Use
{{Han compound|first part|second part|optionally more parts}}
For instance, a simple etymology of 幕 could be created with:
{{Han compound|莫|巾}}
which evaluates to:
As elsewhere, etymologies should be referenced.
More parts
For the character classification, a “|ls=
”(stands for "liushu") parameter with "i/ic/psc
" could be added:
{{Han compound|莫|巾|ls=psc}}
Where i
means "Ideograms", ic
means "Ideogrammic compounds", psc
means "Phono-semantic compounds" (形聲字/形声字 (xíngshēngzì)).
A Phono-semantic compound is made up of two characters: phonetic one and semantic one. Mark them by using “|c1=
”, “|c2=
” with parameters "p
" or "s
":
{{Han compound|莫|巾|c1=p|c2=s|ls=psc}}
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): phonetic 莫 (OC *maːɡ) + semantic 巾
Furthermore, there is the possibility to give translations of the parts by using “|t1=
”, “|t2=
”:
{{Han compound|莫|巾|t2=textiles|ls=psc}}
Finally, alternative representation forms can be given by using the “|alt1=
”, “|alt2=
” parameters, take "慕" for example:
{{Han compound|莫|心|t2=heart|alt2=㣺|ls=psc}}
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): 莫 + 㣺 (“heart”)
Additional parameters
|adj=
- If specified, returns an adjectival form of the liushu name, i.e. “pictographic” instead of “pictogram”.
|nocap=
- If yes, converts the first letter to lower case.
|no_och=
(for page title character) and|no_ochx=
(for the xth component)- If specified, disables automatic Old Chinese pronunciation for the corresponding character (which is displayed by default for the title character and the phonetic component, if the character is a phono-semantic character).
|abbx=
(for the xth component)- If yes, the component will be labelled as abbreviated.
|trx=
(for transliteration of the xth component)- Replaces Old Chinese pronunciation with user defined pronunciation (eg. for dialectal characters).
For characters of non-Chinese origin
{{Han compound|米#Vietnamese|頗#Vietnamese|c1=s|c2=p|t1=rice|tr2=phở|ls=psc}}
Phono-semantic compound (形聲 / 形声): semantic 米 (“rice”) + phonetic 頗 (phở)
