Can anyone send me pointers to the actual data of each of these 
systems (Strongs, GK, TWOT, BDB)?

I think we should make a formal mapping between them at some point, 
and in process discover the union of what they cover. I still like 
the idea of hazarding a "Strongers" that's backward-compat w/ Strongs 
but adds in the newer notions...
