στόμα

stóma · Greek · Strong's G4750 · 78 occurrences

The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “face”

What it means

the mouth (as if a gash in the face); by implication, language (and its relations); figuratively, an opening (in the earth); specially, the front or edge (of a weapon)

probably strengthened from a presumed derivative of the base of G5114 (τομώτερος);

How the KJV renders it

edge, face, mouth

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

“face”

also renders prósōpon (G4383), ópsis (G3799), ʼănaph (H600), ʼaph (H639)

“edge”

also renders tsûwr (H6697), qetsev (H7099), sâphâh (H8193)

“mouth”

also renders lógos (G3056), ʻădîy (H5716), pum (H6433)
