 for unaligned text: `header_text` for text that precedes the gloss, and
 `translation` for text that follows the gloss.

+The `morphemes` param can be skipped, if you just want to provide a source
+text and translation, without a gloss:

 lines, which will appear below those specified in the aforementioned
