týpos · Greek · Strong's G5179 · 15 occurrences

The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “form”

What it means

a die (as struck), i.e. (by implication) a stamp or scar; by analogy, a shape, i.e. a statue, (figuratively) style or resemblance; specially, a sampler ("type"), i.e. a model (for imitation) or instance (for warning)

from G5180 (τύπτω);

How the KJV renders it

enexample, fashion, figure, form, manner, pattern, print

Where that flattens a distinction

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