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.

2. That by which the fate or portion of one is determined; that by which an event is committed to chance, that is, to the determination of Providence; as, to cast lots; to draw lots.
The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:33.
3. The part, division or fate which falls to one by chance, that is, by divine determination.
