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.

They imagine deceits all the day long. Psalms 38:12.
3. In scripture, that which is obtained by guile, fraud or oppression.

4. In law, any trick, device, craft, collusion, shift, covin, or underhand practice, used to defraud another.
