UTW is a basic Bible lexicon that provides translators with clear, concise definitions and translation suggestions for every important word in the Bible. It provides translators and checkers with essential lexical information to help them make the best possible translation decisions.

## Structure
2016-10-03 16:19:23 +00:00
2018-09-21 15:03:10 +00:00
The tWs are organized into three sub directories under `bible`.
2019-06-13 20:06:13 +00:00
* `kt` is for “key terms” in the Bible which we consider to be of first importance.
2018-09-21 15:03:10 +00:00
* `other` terms, these are still important but not critical.
2019-06-13 20:06:13 +00:00
* `names` is where weve grouped proper names.
