When to use
සංස්කරණයThis template is intended for semi-learned borrowings, which are borrowings that have been partly reshaped by later sound change or analogy with inherited terms. For example, the Portuguese term artigo (“article”) is a semi-learned borrowing from ලතින් articulus (“joint, limb, division”) that was borrowed early enough to undergo later sound changes that lenited c into g and deleted l between vowels. In comparison, artelho (“toe”) is inherited from the same Latin term, and artículo (“articulus”) is a learned borrowing from the same Latin term.
Parameters
සංස්කරණයSame as {{borrowed}}
, with an extra |nocap=1
parameter if the leading "S" should be "s" and an extra |notext=1
parameter to suppress the initial text entirely.
Examples
