μέχρι
méchri · Greek · Strong's G3360 · 19 occurrences
The KJV renders 16 different Hebrew and Greek words as “unto”
What it means
as far as, i.e. up to a certain point (as a preposition, of extent (denoting the terminus, whereas G891 (ἄχρι) refers especially to the space of time or place intervening) or conjunction)
from G3372 (μῆκος);
How the KJV renders it
till, unto, until
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
