H637 mostly missing from KJV

I am doing a study on Psalm 119, an alphabetical psalm.
Verse 3 should start with an Aleph word (H637) but the Strongs number is missing.
I tried searching KJV for H637; I got only 17 verses & only 1 in the Psalms.
This is not a problem for me as I can read Hebrew and I can't imagine needing to search for H637.
However I imagine it could be confussing to some, which is why I am reporting this.
Thanks, Julian

Thanks for the info.
I am not aware of the parameters the team used for the markup

The ommissions are worse than I originally thought.
The numbers are found in the 'Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible' book.
It appears to be a longstanding problem, even Logos is the same.
However I have 2 Hebrew Bibles (HiSB & Shoroshim), both show the correct numbers.
Whilst writing this post I came accross KJVplus which includes Strong's numbers against [some/all?] of the words which the official [universal] version omits. Eg Psa 119v3 now begins with H637. See http://www.wordmodules.com/the-word-mod ... s-updated/

I suppose each module maker has tagged what they feel is appropriate. Personally I can't see the point of it.
