Your original:

     lookup code=svalookr k=("CAT") i=A -nx brw="*2"

gives me a syntax error, with the carat on the "w" of "brw=", exactly
as on your system.

The following passes syntax here:

     lookup code=svalookr k=("CAT") i=A -nx b="*2"

(I haven't tried actually running it, as I have no file set up for it
to look up into with this exact syntax.)

Can you explain exactly what happened on your system with simply changing
the "brw=" to "b="?
