ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE MAP

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.

2. It is often used like other adjectives, without the noun to which it refers.

3. Proverbially, a small number.

Away, thou three-inched fool. [I believe obsolete.]
