loanblend – one part of a word is borrowed and the other belongs to the original language.

loanshift – taking a word in the base language and extending its meaning so that it corresponds to that of a word in the other language.

loan translation – rearranging words in the base language along a pattern provided by the other and thus creating a new meaning.
