Any of the [gvslawtb]: prefixed variables define the scope of the variable, as follows:

g: global variable, accessible anywhere
v: special variable predefined by Vim only useful in certain contexts, see the help entry for that variable
s: script-local variable, accessible anywhere within a given script file
l: function-local variable, only accessible with the defining function
a: function argument
w: window-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for every single window
t: tab-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for each tab page
b: buffer-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for each buffer
