Marker check errors for glossary words with suffixes

Question

I’m working on basic checks for a project, and it keeps coming up with “Citation form (x) is missing from glossary” every time I mark a glossary word that appears in any form other than the exact form that appears in the glossary. For example, they have “serubɛ” in the glossary, but if they add their plural suffix -ge, to become “serubɛge”, it comes up with the “citation form” error:

#Citation Form (“serubɛge”) is missing from Glossary: \w

I can go individually to each one and “deny” the errors, but it’s really annoying, because this plural suffix occurs a lot. Is there some way to make Paratext recognize the language’s morphology so it recognizes that serubɛ and serubɛge are different forms of the same word? I’ve tried going into the word list and confirming the morphology of the word, but it makes no difference.
(P.S. I am using Paratext 8.0.100.84)

Answer 1

Try the following syntax:

\w word/phrase in text|word/phrase in glossary\w*

Ah, that worked! Thanks so very much!

Well, that gets rid of that error - thank you! But now it is
coming up with an error that “|” is an unknown character. Arrgh!
I suppose I could mark it as correct in the character inventory,
but we don’t otherwise have any reason to use that symbol in the
text.

But now it is coming up with an error that “|” is an unknown character.

Paratext should not be finding that character when it’s a part of a \w marker. Could you post a screenshot of the error and where it occurs?

The error shows up as soon as I add the “|word in glossary”. The
original “word not in glossary” error goes away, but then this new
one shows up.

  I've been wondering if there's a bug in my Paratext program,

because it’s also coming up with errors for semi-colons in \xt
verse references - we don’t use semicolons elsewhere so it’s not
in their character inventory, but only in the scripture references
section. It didn’t used to mark semicolons as errors when they
were in \xt references. Maybe my settings are messed up somehow??

This is the error I’m getting:
