Which Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek words stand behind this KJV word?
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.

Before I was afflicted, I want astray Psalms 129:1.
Cattle go astray when they leave their proper owners or inclosures. See Deuteronomy 22:1.
