You have seen Nic's suggested structure.

where to find them.

libsword will find a lot of modules more or less automatically as long
as they follow a normal layout. so

~/.sword, ~/.Sword, ~/Sword, /usr/local/share/sword etc etc 9and many
more) are all valid locations. If you copy your module there it should
find it. You can also tell libsword where to find more. But copying into
a standard location is the best solution.

the conf file looks reasonable at a glance.
