Well they don't necessarily have the same value!
It's a dictionary with cross-referenced words, e.g. 'bring' and
'brought' are both headwords in the dictionary, but 'brought' is
cross-referenced to 'bring'. So, the table stores the information (using
integer id's rather than words) that
bring: bring
brought: see bring
sing: sing
sang: see sing
etc.
