The number preceeding the word is the actual frequency of this word in the NT (usually based on
Trenchard's count and/or Accordance); the number following the word is the card number in
Gromacki’s Greek Vocabulary Cards (not all words have a card, esp. proper names). The WebCT quiz
answer comes next, followed by more complete glosses (rough English translation equivalents—not
2
formal definitions!) which follow Trenchard, Mounce, and/or BAGD .
