When we ask for a gloss of a sentence, what we want is:
- The original sentence
- A transliteration if it is not in Latin/Cyrillic script, this transliteration should ideally use a standard if one exists.
- A morpheme-by-morpheme description of the sentence, aligned with the words
- A translation
So for example for two Hindi sentences:
सूरज उगता उत्तर से sūraja ugatā uttara se sun rises north from `The sun rises from the north.' आपके उत्तर का इंतजार āpake uttara kā iṃtajāra your reply GEN waiting `Awaiting your reply.'
