The only morphology that was expected was robinson:
  <xsl:template match="w">
    <!-- Output the content followed by all the lemmas and then all the morphs. -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    <xsl:if test="$Strongs = 'true' and (starts-with(@lemma, 'strong:') or starts-with(@lemma, 'x-Strongs:'))">
      <xsl:call-template name="lemma">
        <xsl:with-param name="lemma" select="@lemma"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="$Morph = 'true' and (starts-with(@morph, 'robinson:') or starts-with(@morph, 'x-Robinson:'))">
      <xsl:call-template name="morph">
        <xsl:with-param name="morph" select="@morph"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="$Strongs = 'true' and starts-with(@lemma, 'lemma.Strong:')">
      <xsl:call-template name="lemma">
        <xsl:with-param name="lemma" select="@lemma"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
    <!--
        except when followed by a text node or non-printing node.
        This is true whether the href is output or not.
    -->
    <xsl:variable name="siblings" select="../child::node()"/>
    <xsl:variable name="next-position" select="position() + 1"/>
    <xsl:if test="$siblings[$next-position] and name($siblings[$next-position]) != ''">
      <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
