Hello !

I guess entry larger than 9000 are "extended" strongs (largest entry
is supposed to be H8674).

Looking into https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tyndale/STEPBible-Data/master/TBESH%20-%20Tyndale%20Brief%20lexicon%20of%20Extended%20Strongs%20for%20Hebrew%20-%20TyndaleHouse.com%20STEPBible.org%20CC%20BY-NC.txt


EStrong#    These Extended Strong Numbers are mapped to BDB (and
thereby to other modern lexicons) by OpenScriptures.org. This adds
about 800 words which are found in modern lexicons but were not
differentiated by Strong. Numbers beyond 9000 include non-lexical
prefixes and suffixed. They were created by Tyndale House, Cambridge
They are designed to be backward compatible with software that uses
Strongs numbers.

EStrong#    Hebrew    Transliteration    Morph    Gloss    Meaning
H9006    /מ    m        from    Prefix  mem
H9021    ךָ        Ps2m    your    Personal posessive pronoun - suffix
for nouns, adjectives and passive participles:  2nd person masculine
singular
H0776    אֶ֫רֶץ    e.rets    H:N-F    land    ........

If i clone https://github.com/openscriptures/HebrewLexicon , i do not
find trace of 9006 nor 9021.

However in LexicalIndex.xml :

An entry for מ
<entry id="ghv">
 <w xlit="m">מ<w>
 <xref bdb="m.aa.aa"/>
 <etym type="main"/>
</entry>

<entry id="bep">
<w xlit="ʾereṣ">אֶ֫רֶץ</w> <pos>N</pos> <def>earth</def>
<xref bdb="a.fx.aa" strong="776" twot="167">
<etym root="ארץ" type="main"/>
</entry>

And in BrownDriverBriggs.xml:
<entry id="m.aa.aa" type="root">
 <w>מ</w>, <w>ם</w>,
 <def>Mēm</def>, thirteenth letter ; used as numeral 40 in postB.Heb.
 <status p="547">done</status>
</entry>

I think openscripture made a digial version of BDB where strong id are
linked in LexicalIndex.xml's xref node.

It looks like tyndale extended Strongs number and used the BDB
LexicalIndex's w node entry as a reference (i would have expected to
use the bdb entry id in BrownDriverBriggs but that does not seems to
be the case).

If there was a way to get BDB into sword, that would be fantastic...
