`<gram>` | (grammatical information) within an entry in a dictionary or a terminological data file, contains grammatical information relating to a term, word, or form.

Attributes:

`type` | classifies the grammatical information given according to some convenient typology --- in the case of terminological information, preferably the dictionary of data element types specified in ISO WD 12 620.
| Datatype: CDATA

Legal values:

`pos` | part of speech (any of the word classes to which a word may be assigned in a given language, based on form, meaning, or a combination of features, e.g. noun, verb, adjective, etc.)
`gen` | gender (formal classification by which nouns and pronouns, and often accompanying modifiers, are grouped and inflected, or changed in form, so as to control certain syntactic relationships)
`num` | number (e.g. singular, plural, dual, ...)
`animate` | animate or inanimate
`proper` | proper noun or common noun

| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | A much fuller list of values for the `type` attribute may be generated from the dictionary of data element types under preparation as ISO TC 37/SC 3/WD 12 620, Computational Aids in Terminology. See ISO 12 620 for fuller details.

Example

Note

In terminological data, the `<gram>` element usually refers to the most recently specified `<term>` or `<otherForm>` element. In flat term entries, the `group` and `depend` attributes may be used to indicate exceptions to this general rule. In dictionaries, the element typically relates to the form or forms with which it is grouped in a `<form>` or other grouping element.
