τίθημι
títhēmi · Greek · Strong's G5087 · 99 occurrences
The KJV renders 43 different Hebrew and Greek words as “make”
What it means
to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly, in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476 (ἵστημι), which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 (κεῖμαι) is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate)
a prolonged form of a primary (which is used only as alternate in certain tenses);
How the KJV renders it
appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, x kneel down, lay aside, down, make, ordain, purpose, put, set, settle, sink down
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
