Hi, Can anyone tell me what the large X's in the Strong's Numbers definitions stand for?

 

Example:

 

H1961 הָיָה hâyâh haw-yaw' A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use. Total KJV occurrences: 3502

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Robert

Take a look in the module information page. I show below in case you don't yet know how to view it.
