Template:sa-root/documentation

Usage

This template can be used:

1. either in etymologies of terms derived from a root
2. or as a headword-template for Sanskrit roots.

Parameters

For using as an etymological template

|1=

The root from which a term derived. This would also categorise the term by its root. For example:

{{sa-root|ग्लै}} gives:

From the root ग्लै (glai)

and categorises into Category:Sanskrit terms belonging to the root ग्लै

|2= (optional)

The suffix attached to the root for forming the term. For example:

{{sa-root|क्षुभ्|त}} gives:

From the root क्षुभ् (kṣubh) +‎ -त (-ta)

and categorises into Category:Sanskrit terms belonging to the root क्षुभ् and Category:Sanskrit terms suffixed with -त

|notext= (optional)

Used for suppressing the text "From the root […] ". Categorisation will not be suppressed. If this parameter is used, the term "root" appears beside the root in brackets. For example:

{{sa-root|क्षुभ्|त|notext=1}} gives:

क्षुभ् (kṣubh, root) +‎ -त (-ta)

|sr= (optional)

For using the text "The Sanskrit root is […] " instead of "From the root […] ". To be used when the term is inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan, Proto-Indo-Iranian, or Proto-Indo-European, but derivation from a root is also possible. Categorisation will not be suppressed. For example:

{{sa-root|भक्ष्|sr=1}} gives:

The Sanskrit root is भक्ष् (bhakṣ)

|sa= (optional)

For using the text "Synchronically analysable as […] " instead of "From the root […] ". To be used in place of |sr= only if the term can be from a root + suffix. This adds the term "root" in brackets. Categorisation (by root and suffix) will not be suppressed. For example:

{{sa-root|तुष्|ति|sa=1}} gives:

By surface analysis, तुष् (tuṣ, root) +‎ -ति (-ti)

|nocap= (optional)

Used for suppressing capitalisation of the first letter. Categorisation will not be suppressed. For example:

{{sa-root|क्षुभ्|त|nocap=1}} gives:

from the root क्षुभ् (kṣubh) +‎ -त (-ta)

{{sa-root|तुष्|ति|nocap=1|sa=1}} gives:

by surface analysis, तुष् (tuṣ, root) +‎ -ति (-ti)

{{sa-root|भक्ष्|nocap=1|sr=1}} gives:

the Sanskrit root is भक्ष् (bhakṣ)

|t= (optional)

For giving a short English translation of the root. For example:

{{sa-root|क्षुभ्|त|t=to shake, tremble, be agitated or disturbed}} gives:

From the root क्षुभ् (kṣubh, “to shake, tremble, be agitated or disturbed”) +‎ -त (-ta)

{{sa-root|तुष्|ति|sa=1|t=to be satisfied}} gives:

By surface analysis, तुष् (tuṣ, “to be satisfied”, root) +‎ -ति (-ti)

{{sa-root|भक्ष्|sr=1|t=to eat or drink}} gives:

The Sanskrit root is भक्ष् (bhakṣ, “to eat or drink”)

|t2= (optional)

For giving a short English translation of the suffix. For example:

{{sa-root|शुध्|अक|t2=-er}} gives:

From the root शुध् (śudh) +‎ -अक (-aka, “-er”)

{{sa-root|पूष्|अन्|sa=1|t=to nourish|t2=-er}} gives:

By surface analysis, पूष् (pūṣ, “to nourish”, root) +‎ -अन् (-an, “-er”)

For using as a headword-line template

|head=

The headword parameter. By default, it is the page's title.

|tr=

The transliteration. Only to be used when automatic transliteration is incorrect.

|sc=

Script code. Rarely needs to be given, as the script is normally autodetected.

Note: If this template has to be used as a headword-line template, the parameter |1= (the first unnamed parameter) must not be specified. If it is specified, the template would work as an etymology-template and add the terms to wrong categories. For an example, see this revision of दिव्.
