# Purpose of the GWT lexicon
2020-08-26 14:00:55 +00:00
This lexicon is intended to serve the needs of Mother-tongue translators and translation checkers/reviewers. It does this by providing information that can only be found by accessing lexical meaning in the biblical languages.

This lexicon is written in WIT (Writing for International Translators) style so that it can more easily be translated into any of the world's langauges by non-professional translators.
## How is the GWT organized?
2020-08-26 14:00:55 +00:00
The GWT is organized by Strong's numbers. Because there are different numbering systems, the GWT follows the Strong's numbering system that has been enhanced in the Open Greek New Testament (see: [https://content.bibletranslationtools.org/WycliffeAssociates/OpenGNT](http://)). Each Greek word in the Open Greek New Testament is tagged to a specific Strong's number. It is this tagging system which is employed by the GWT.
