Is there any particular reason that cross-refs in ESV are in front of
words, rather than after? In many Bibles the cross-refs and notes
appear in between words, so this would be no different.

We have discussed various options, but there is no reliable way to fix
this. The only way is to determine whether an "n" or "x" at the
beginning of a word is part of the word or not.
