Example
Note

In terminological data, the <gram> element usually refers to the most recently specified <term> or <otherForm> element. In flat term entries, the group and depend attributes may be used to indicate exceptions to this general rule. In dictionaries, the element typically relates to the form or forms with which it is grouped in a <form> or other grouping element.
