Verb Paradigms

Present: jaw (to cook)

Gloss	Sereer	Gloss	Sereer
I cook	jawaam	we cook	injawa
you cook	jawaa	you (pl) cook	nunjawa
s/he cooks	ajawa	they cook	anjawa

Template for the table:

Present:

Gloss	Sereer	Gloss	Sereer
I ...	-aam	we ...	i[mut]- -a
you ...	-aa	you (pl) ...	nu[mut]- -a
s/he ...	-a	they ...	a[mut]- -a

To highlight individual cells in a paradigm, mimic the code here. For instance, let's say we want to highlight the fact that plural verb stems undergo consonant mutation, and we like blue. We paste the code style="background: blue; color: white" | (note the stem at the end) into the beginning of the cell:

Present:

Gloss	Sereer	Gloss	Sereer
I ...	-aam	we ...	i[mut]- -a
you ...	-aa	you (pl) ...	nu[mut]- -a
s/he ...	-a	they ...	a[mut]- -a

Interlinear Glosses

The template for interlinear glossing is below:

<gl id="ex1"> mexe waʄna foofi \gll me- xe waʄ -na foofi' 1SG CONT boil CAUS water \trans I am boiling water. (045) </gl>

The example below lacks an unparsed first line. Note that the position of \gll determines which line starts aligned glossing. \trans effectively ends this command.

<gl id="ex2"> \gll me- xe waʄ -na foofi' 1SG CONT boil CAUS water \trans I am boiling water. (045) </gl>

Now you can refer to example <glr id="ex1"/> like this. This creates a hyperlink!

(The method below should be avoided for the method above.)

To make an interlinear gloss, the code below is a start.
