Nevermind, should have Googled first. Don't see a way to delete the post. The answer is below.
 

What are all the Xs about in the Strong's definitions? Here's an example. 

 

baw-rak'

 

A primitive root; to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); also (by euphemism) to curse (God or the king, as treason): -    X abundantly, X altogether, X at all, blaspheme, bless, congratulate, curse, X greatly, X indeed, kneel (down), praise, salute, X still, thank.

 

Answer from http://www.spiritand...ons/215.htm?x=x

 

In Strong's entries, “X” denotes “multiplication” and “+” (plus) denotes addition to form a phrase.

Multiplication

 

• X (multiplication): denotes a rendering in the [text] that results from an idiom peculiar to the original language

"X" is used to describe situations where the word in question appears with another word or in a repeated phrase which multiples the original meaning of the associated word. For example, in Acts 5:42, the word for all/every (pas, Strong's G3956) appears with the word for "day" (hemera) resulting in the idea of "every day" or "each day" which results in the English translation "daily." Hence, the Strong's entry "X daily" means that when pas is combined with the word for "day" it multiplies the idea of "day" to denote "daily" (over and over, day by day).
