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.
