The following verses were left blank in the Tok Pisin ULB. The English ULB had footnotes explaining why the vereses have no next.
Act 8:37
\v 37 \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have Acts 8:37, \fqa Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may be baptized." The Ethiopian answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" \fqa* . \f*
Act 15:34
\v 34 \f + \ft The best ancient copies do not have verse 34 (See: Acts 15:40), \fqa But it seemed good to Silas to remain there \fqa* . \f*
Act 24:7
\v 7 \f + \ft Some ancient copies have for verse 7 and the beginning of verse 8, \fqa 7 But Lysias, the officer, came and took him by force out of our hands, 8 commanding his accusers to come to you \fqa* . \f*
Act 28:29
\v 29 \f + \ft Acts 28:29—Some ancient copies have verse 29: \fqa When he had said these things, the Jews went away. They were having a great dispute among themselves \fqa* . \f*

Note: Whatever you decide for these verses, you might want to do the same for the end of Acts 24:6. The English ULB has this footnote at the end of 24:6. \f + \ft Some ancient copies add, \fqa We wanted to judge him according to our law \fqa* . \f*
I see that “undefined” is what the Tok Pisin team had decided to put in these empty verses.
On 24 September 2021, Pena Patrick Pokea wrote the following to Aby:
Regarding verses that are blank, we have chosen option # 2. Include a verse marker and a word such as “undefined” (This is how the empty verses are set up now.) Actually, our translation work are left that way in the BTT writer.
On 20 September 2021, he had written the following to Sam.
There are no issues accept some verses in this book appearing as empty have a small footnote icon and is worded ‘undefine’. These verses are blank and are not translated because there is no define source text. ( Examples; Mtt18: 11, 17:21, 23:14 )
