## Structure
The tN are structured as TSV files to simplify importing and exporting into various formats for translation and presentation. This enables the tNs to be keyed to the original Greek and Hebrew text instead of only a Gateway Language translation.

### TSV Format Overview
A Tab Separated Value (TSV) file is like a Comma Separated Value file except that the tab character is what divides the values instead of a comma. This makes it easier to include prose text in the files because many languages require the use of commas, single quotes, and double quotes in their sentences and paragraphs.

The tNs are structured as one file per book of the bible and encoded in TSV format, for example, `01-GEN.tsv`. The columns are `Book`, `Chapter`, `Verse`, `ID`, `SupportReference`, `OrigQuote`, `Occurrence`, `GLQuote`, and `OccurrenceNote`.
