Template:ryn-kanjitab/documentation

This template shows a table of kanji in a Northern Amami Ōshima term. It uses Module:kanjitab.

Usage

This can be used in two ways:

1. The conventional kanji-only mode, which only links to the kanji in the term. This template knows what kanji are in the term by itself, so one need only enter {{ryn-kanjitab}} with no parameters.
2. The newer readings mode, which links to kanji, shows their readings, and adds readings categories.

In either case, use the template {{ryn-kanjitab}} at the top of the Etymology section. This creates a table floated at the right margin.

For example, the entry 外来語 would include the following:

===Etymology===
{{ryn-kanjitab}}

or

===Etymology===
{{ryn-kanjitab|がい|らい|ご|yomi=on}}

Note: if there is no other etymology text, do not use the ===Etymology=== header; (which would create an apparently blank section) the {{ryn-kanjitab}} template follows the ==Northern Amami Ōshima== header.

How to use kanjitab with kanji readings

This expects the readings of the kanji separated by pipes. For example, 元気(げんき) (genki) would have {{ja-kanjitab|げん|き}}; for 東(とー)京(ちょー) (tōchō), we have {{ryu-kanjitab|とー|ちょー}}. A number can follow kana if the kana is intended for more than one kanji, e.g., for 白(しろ)海豚(いるか) (shiroiruka) we have {{ja-kanjitab|しろ|いるか2}}.

What about a word like 発(はっ)表(ぴょう) (happyō)? The original readings of those kanji are はつ (hatsu) and ひょう (hyō), so those go in between the pipes. They are the modern readings before sound changes such as rendaku or sokuon. (The actual readings can be specified in k1, k2, k3, etc.--see below.) That is, they are the readings of the individual kanji as they appear on the pages of the respective kanji, not as they are read in that particular word (if they differ.)

Historical readings, such as the former pronunciations きやう (kyau) and くゐやう (kwyau) for 兄 that developed into the modern pronunciation きょう (kyō) through onbin (音(おん)便(びん)), are not meant to be included in the template.

Additional parameters:

• k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, k6, k7 Optional

  If there is a sound change in a kanji's reading, enter that altered reading in k1 for the first kanji, k2 for the second, etc. When k1, k2, etc. are defined, it uses those in place of the even unnamed parameters (the readings before sound changes) to create the sort key when sort is omitted.

For 発表(はっぴょう) (happyō), k1=はっ and k2=ぴょう. The whole thing is {{ja-kanjitab|はつ|ひょう|k1=はっ|k2=ぴょう|yomi=on}}.

For 大和(やまとぅ)ん人(ちゅ) (yamatunchu), k2=んちゅ. The whole thing is {{ryu-kanjitab|やまとぅ2|っちゅ|k2=んちゅ|yomi=juku2,k}}.

• o1, o2, o3, o4, o5, o6, o7 Optional

  o is for omitted okurigana. The readings used in "read as" categories are conservative and stick with the "core" readings that are as general as possible. Use these for cases like 入口 or 立入り.

• sort: Optional

  This should only be used when there are kana that are not covered by kanji, for example in terms with leading honorific お, verbs, or terms with irregular readings. Enter the kana as-is. (No need for quotes on the end as for hidx in other templates.) This kana string can be any mix of hiragana or katakana. It is turned into the proper sort key automatically by Module:Jpan-sortkey.

• yomi: Optional

  Categorizes the term according to its reading type. Choose from the following values:

• • o or on: on'yomi (音(おん)読(よ)み)
  • kanon: kanon (漢(かん)音(おん))
  • goon: go'on (呉(ご)音(おん))
  • soon: sōon (宋(そう)音(おん))
  • toon: tōon (唐(とう)音(おん))
  • kan, kanyo, or kanyoon: kan'yōon (慣(かん)用(よう)音(おん))
  • k or kun: kun'yomi (訓(くん)読(よ)み)
  • juku, jukuji, jukujikun: jukujikun (熟(じゅく)字(じ)訓(くん))
  • n or nanori: nanori (名(な)乗(の)り)
  • ok or j: jūbakoyomi (重(じゅう)箱(ばこ)読(よ)み). Only applies to the whole term.
  • ko or y: yutōyomi (湯(ゆ)桶(とう)読(よ)み). Only applies to the whole term.
  • irr, irreg, or irregular: irregular

  It is also possible to specify values for individual kanji rather than the whole term, by separating them with commas. Each value should be followed by a number if it spans more than one kanji. For example, for 東京 we would have |yomi=kanon,goon, and for 大和言葉 we would have |yomi=juku2,k2.

• ateji: Optional

  Marks the kanji as ateji. If equals y, all kanji will be marked as ateji (e.g. 滅茶苦茶). Otherwise the format is one or more start,end (or solo) joined by ;. For example, 仏蘭西語 would have 1,3, and 印度欧羅巴語族 would have 1,2;3,5.

For example, on 物質 (ぶっしつ, ​busshitsu) we would have:

{{ja-kanjitab|ぶつ|しつ|k1=ぶっ|yomi=on}}

If the kana reading is the same as the sum of the readings parameters, the sort parameter and k1, k2, etc. may be omitted, and the template will concatenate all of the even unnamed parameters and make a sort key from that. This covers most cases.

For example, on 信頼 (しんらい, ​shinrai) we would have:

{{ja-kanjitab|しん|らい|yomi=on}}

If the term exhibits rendaku, the parameter r may be set to any value to add the term to Category:Northern Amami Ōshima terms with rendaku.

• alt: Optional

  Alternative kanji spellings of the word, separated by commas. Needed if you want to redirect with {{ja-see}}.

  Labels can be added with the following syntax:

  altform1:label1_1 label1_2,altform2:label2_1 label2_2

  Such labels are identical to those used in {{label}}, and will be processed as such. It will also appear on the {{ja-see}} redirect. For example, see かけあし and 駈歩 ("equestrianism"), or ミル and 釺 ("Brazil, obsolete").

• clearright: Optional

  Prohibits multiple kanjitabs from occupying the same line.

Categorization

On the back end, this template adds categories that group entries by the readings of their kanji, of the form "Northern Amami Ōshima terms spelled with (kanji) read as (reading)".

For example, 発(はっ)表(ぴょう) (happyō) has Category:Japanese terms spelled with 発 read as はつ and Category:Japanese terms spelled with 表 read as ひょう; 民国(みんくく) (minkuku) has Category:Okinawan terms spelled with 民 read as みん and Category:Okinawan terms spelled with 国 read as くく.

These categories in turn belong in two parent categories: one of the form "Northern Amami Ōshima terms spelled with (kanji)", (the same category link generated by the Northern Amami Ōshima kanji headword line template), and the other of the form "Northern Amami Ōshima terms spelled with kanji read as (reading)". Use {{auto cat}} (with the appropriate reading types specified as numbered parameters) to generate the readings subcategories. See the documentation of {{auto cat}} for more information.
