You can't. TH8804 is a reference to a Thayer's number, not a strong's 
number.

None of these are strongs numbers. These are all Robinsons morphology.

Take a look at Strong's Hebrew and Strong's Greek modules. These are 
indexed by the strong's number. Use the G or H to determine which module 
to use. Then take the number that follows, add enough leading 0 to make 
it 5 digits and use that to look up the word in the correct module.

However, the modules contain a transliteration. And the words that are 
transliterated are not marked as such in the module. In order to 
accomplish this you will need to create/update the module with the 
missing tags and original Greek and Hebrew.
