These relationships come from exact verse + token-position mappings. We do not assume that one English spelling always equals one Strong's number. A single English token can also carry more than one source tag, so the Strong's-link total can exceed the number of English occurrences.

art
'ART, The second person, indicative mode, present tense, of the substantive veb am.
'ART, noun [Latin ars, artis.]
1. The disposition or modification of things by human skill, to answer the purpose intended. In this sense art stands opposed to nature.
2. A system of rules, serving to facilitate the performance of certain actions; opposed to science, or to speculative principles; as the art of building or engraving. Arts are divided into useful or mechanic, and liberal or polite. The mechanic arts are those in which the hands and body are more concerned than the mind; as in making clothes, and utensils. These art are called trades. The liberal or polite arts are those in which the mind or imagination is chiefly concerned; as poetry, music and painting.
In America, literature and the elegant arts must grow up side by side with the coarser plants of daily necessity.
3. Skill, dexterity, or the power of performing certain actions, acquired by experience, study or observation; as, a man has the art of managing his business to advantage.
