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.
