Syntax

USFM: \w content|@lemma @strong @srcloc\w*
USX: <char style="w" @lemma @strong @srcloc>content</char>
lemma

Citation form for the term in the glossary (default attribute)

strong
Strong’s ID in the form H#### (Hebrew) or G#### (Greek)
A strong’s ID augmentation identifier, if required, should be separated from the strong value by a colon :. An augmentation is a method of extending Strong’s by aligning it to another lexicon (e.g. Brown-Driver-Briggs). This requires dividing some words into two or more separate words.

There are instances where more than one word may need to be included within w because of how Hebrew and Greek use word repetitions (e.g. for a superlative). Exodus 29:37 repeats the word ‘holy’ as the superlative form.
srcloc

Location of the word in the source text; Example: GNT version 5 text, book 51, chapter 1, verse 2, word 1.
