τίς
tís · Greek · Strong's G5101 · 532 occurrences
The KJV renders 30 different Hebrew and Greek words as “thing”
What it means
an interrogative pronoun, who, which or what (in direct or indirect questions)
probably emphatic of G5100 (τὶς);
How the KJV renders it
every man, how, thing, what manner, whereby, fore, unto, with, withal, whether, which, whom, why
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
