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.

few
FEW, adjective [Latin pauci. The senses of few and small are often united.]
Not many; small in number. Party is the madness of many for the gain of a few; but few men, in times of party, regard the maxim.
