+                    <p>The <code>d</code> preposition type marks an implicit
+                    definite article carried by the pointing of an inseparable
+                    preposition. The article is represented in the morphology,
+                    not as a separate token, because it has no consonantal form
+                    in the text. For example, in Gen.1.5:</p>
+<pre>    <span class="tag">&lt;w <span class="name">lemma=</span>"<span class="value">l/216</span>" <span class="name">morph=</span>"<span class="value">HRd/Ncbsa</span>"></span>לָ/אוֹר֙<span class="tag">&lt;/w></span></pre>
+                    <p>The <code>Rd</code> portion of the morphology indicates
+                    a preposition with an implicit definite article before
+                    <span lang="he">אוֹר</span>, while the token remains split
+                    only at the written morphemes as
+                    <span lang="he">לָ/אוֹר֙</span>.</p>
