I've had a similar problem working on a program of Hebrew flash cards for the 
computer.  I even tried resorting to using Strong's numbers due to the 
presence of prefixes and infixes which make a simple search (even with "wild 
cards") fail to produce many forms of a word.  I found that even there there 
is no agreement.  If I take the count from the KJV or the NASV I get 
different quantities.  Sometimes we are at the mercy of those who tag these 
items in the software.
