They are all the same word = "female friend"

The difference is in the grammar. Greek has inflected endings for sing/pl, case, etc.

N-NPF = Noun - Nominative case, Plural, Feminine
N-APF = Noun - Accusative case, Plural, Feminine
N-NSF = Noun - Nominative Case, Singular, Feminine

G79 is Strong's Concordance Number (Greek word 79).

As stated above, these are all different forms of the same word.
