These numbers are an extension mechanism placed atop standard Strong 
numbers to indicate additional information such as morphology.

You should be using the Thayer Greek Lexicon and the Brown-Driver-Briggs 
Hebrew Lexicon.  They are far superior to the Strong Lexica and they do 
include these extended codes.

The requirements for a .conf file are module name, module path, 
description & module driver.  I think everything else is optional.  You 
can find some more documentation on .conf files at 
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/develop/swordmodule/modulemaking-overview.jsp. 
  If you can't figure out the problem from that, you'll have to give us 
some more information (possibly send your .conf file).
