I don't know Greek or Hebrew.  How can I tell which Greek or Hebrew word
corresponds to the English word in the KJV with this method?

I'm looking to make automated tools for massive word-studies.  If
looking up a KJV word in Strongs is like taking a shot with a rifle, I'm
looking to code up the equivalent of a concrete mounted machine-gun.
I'm going to be travelling soon, and I want the laptop with me.  It will
be my substitute for Strong's Concordance, but I have something in mind
much better than Strong's.  As a long time Free Software developer, I
will be releasing it under the GPL, of course.  I will also dual license
it under the BSD license for people who are into that kind of thing.
