===Partial=== {{anchor|Partial calques}} {{anchor|Loan blend}} {{anchor|Loanblend}} Partial calques, or loan blends, translate some parts of a compound but not others.<ref>Durkin, Philip. ''The Oxford Guide to Etymology''. Β§ 5.1.4</ref> For example, the name of the Irish digital television service {{lang|ga|[[Saorview]]|italic=no}} is a partial calque of that of the UK service "[[Freeview (UK)|Freeview]]", translating the first half of the word from English to Irish but leaving the second half unchanged. Other examples include "[[liverwurst]]" (< German {{wikt-lang|de|Leberwurst}})<ref>{{Cite OED|liverwurst}}</ref> and "[[apple strudel]]" (< German {{wikt-lang|de|Apfelstrudel}}).<ref>{{Cite OED|apple strudel}}</ref>
