Troy,
    I am starting to implement the definite article merge. But I have a 
question as to the your instructions. See below.

What do you mean by "equal in other respects to my morphology"?

Lets take the following example of Hebrews 1:1
<w src="6" lemma="strong:G2316" morph="robinson:N-NSM">God, who</w>
<w src="1" lemma="strong:G4181" morph="robinson:ADV">at sundry times</w>
<w src="2" lemma="strong:G2532" morph="robinson:CONJ">and</w>
<w src="3" lemma="strong:G4187" morph="robinson:ADV">in divers manners</w>
<w src="7" lemma="strong:G2980" morph="robinson:V-AAP-NSM">spake</w>
<w src="4" lemma="strong:G3819" morph="robinson:ADV">in time past</w>
<w src="9" lemma="strong:G3962" morph="robinson:N-DPM">unto the fathers</w>
<w src="10" lemma="strong:G1722" morph="robinson:PREP">by</w>
<w src="12" lemma="strong:G4396" morph="robinson:N-DPM">the prophets</w>,
<w src="5" lemma="strong:G3588" morph="robinson:T-NSM"></w>
<w src="8" lemma="strong:G3588" morph="robinson:T-DPM"></w>
<w src="11" lemma="strong:G3588" morph="robinson:T-DPM"></w>
<milestone type="x-strongsMarkup" resp="bcn 2002-11-22-10:13"/>

Here we have 3 empty G3588 tags.
So do you mean that I regard the NSM and DPM to make a match?

So would this then become:
<w src="5 6" lemma="strong:G3588 strong:G2316" morph="robinson:T-NSM 
robinson:N-NSM">God, who</w>
<w src="1" lemma="strong:G4181" morph="robinson:ADV">at sundry times</w>
<w src="2" lemma="strong:G2532" morph="robinson:CONJ">and</w>
<w src="3" lemma="strong:G4187" morph="robinson:ADV">in divers manners</w>
<w src="7" lemma="strong:G2980" morph="robinson:V-AAP-NSM">spake</w>
<w src="4" lemma="strong:G3819" morph="robinson:ADV">in time past</w>
<w src="8 9" lemma="strong:G3588 strong:G3962" morph="robinson:T-DPM 
robinson:N-DPM">unto the fathers</w>
<w src="10" lemma="strong:G1722" morph="robinson:PREP">by</w>
<w src="11 12" lemma="strong:G3588 strong:G4396" morph="robinson:T-DPM 
robinson:N-DPM">the prophets</w>,

Note, I am maintaining src, lemma and morph as parallel arrays.

Thanks,
