Template:ja-rendaku2/documentation

Simple template intended for inclusion in etymology sections for compound words, describing a sound shift in one of the compound constituent terms as an instance of rendaku.

Usage

Parameters:

• 1 (Required)

Enter the non-rendaku romaji for the term.

• 2 (Required)

Enter the post-rendaku romaji for the term.

• sort (Optional)

Enter the sort index. When omitted, the sortkey is automatically retrieved by Module:Jpan-sortkey. When transcribing the hiragana for hidx, if the transcription begins with a 濁点 (dakuten, the double-dots denoting a voiced initial consonant) such as べ (be), or with a 半濁点 (handakuten, the small circle denoting “p” sounds) such as ぺ (pe), use the hidx parameter to index it under the corresponding 清音 (seion, “clear sound”, i.e. an unmodified kana) such as へ (he). When the entry begins with a dakuten kana, follow the word with one apostrophe '; when it begins with a handakuten kana, it with two apostrophes ''. This maintains the sort order on the Category:Japanese terms with rendaku page.

• nocaps (Optional)

Specify any value to output the first word "The" lower-case as "the".

• nodot (Optional)

Specify any value to suppress output of the final period.
