I'm unfamiliar with linguistics, but... looking back at the context of
where you are using `<g>`, it appears as if you are merely attempting
to highlight the character "g", no?  Wouldn't it be more appropriate
to use something other than angle brackets?  For example, you use
square brackets a bit earlier in the paragraph; do square and angle
brackets mean something distinct here?  best, Joe
