[osis-core] 1.9.5 (no errors) -- Strong's numbers

[Patrick Durusau]

Chris,

Unlike some issues, ;-), there has not been a hugh chorus on this one.

I will post something directly to Kirk Lowery as he would be more likely 
to know if there are any other common lemma designations (Westminster?) 
that we need to include on the OT side anyway.

Assuming no show stoppers, look for it as you outline in 1.9.6 (coming 
later today).

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
