What it means

a spot (general in space, but limited by occupancy; whereas G5561 (χώρα) is a large but participle locality), i.e. location (as a position, home, tract, etc.); figuratively, condition, opportunity; specially, a scabbard

apparently a primary word;

How the KJV renders it

coast, licence, place, x plain, quarter, room, where
