kathṓs · Greek · Strong's G2531 · 180 occurrences
The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “when”
What it means
just (or inasmuch) as, that
from G2596 (κατά) and G5613 (ὡς);
How the KJV renders it
according to, according, even as, how, when
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“when”
“according”
also renders kathóti (G2530), min (H4481)
“even as”
also renders hōs (G5613)
