[sword-devel] Strong's Numbers Standards

[Gary Holmlund]

I don't see anywhere the document suggest not having the zeros. I do see 
several examples with zeros between the letter and the digits.

H0776
H01961
H08414
H0922

Even if the document had suggested no zeros, we have documents 
(MLStrong, Dodson) that do have these zeros. If I have "G32" how do I 
know to change it to "G0032" to lookup in these documents?
