        },
        {
            "type" : "literal",
            "value" : "{{if (eq .Word5.Properties.number \"S\")nu{{end}}"
        },
        {
            "type" : "literal",
            "value" : "{{{ .Word5.Translation }}"
        },
        {
            "type" : "literal",
            "value" : " "
        },
        {
            "type" : "literal",
            "value" : "{{ .Word1.Lemma }}"
        }
    ]

You can see in that case we don't need all the words in the original sentence to construct the output.
