Ok, I've got it working...sort of. So here's where we run into the 0 padding 
issue from the OSHB thread, when I search for, say, alpha in the NASGreek 
lexicon one of the results is 05598 (omega, which matches because it has the 
word alphabet in the entry). If I then search for G05598 in the NASB I get no 
results. However, if I search for G5598 I get results. So what appears to be 
happening is that the NASGreek module is returning a padded 0 (either encoded 
that way of via the SWLD::strongsPad method I'm not sure which) but the NASB 
module doesn't have the padding in its attributes. And from what came up in 
the OSHB thread, there isn't a consistent way of encoding the numbers in the 
bible modules, and SWLD::strongsPad isn't being invoked in the search on the 
lemmas.

I only knew to strip the padded 0 off because I used diatheke to see how the 
numbers were encoded in the module. So, there isn't a way for my users to know 
if they need to include the leading 0 from the lexicon module or not in their 
search. Unless I'm missing something.
