+ We also need to add markup for noun-phrase or verb-phrase toward translation aids. For an example, the Hindi sentence "Sisa (Lead - a metal) Rahit (a person's first name) Petrol (oil) Milta Hai (is available.)"  Here, the noun phrase "Sisa Rahit Petrol" needs to be treated in different way. The noun-phrase, verb-phrase informations help a translator to do so when we markup in the following way.
