The KJV renders 3 different Greek words as “come again”

from G5259 (ὑπό) and G4762 (στρέφω);

How the KJV renders it

come again, return again, back again, turn back

Where that flattens a distinction

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

also renders epanérchomai (G1880), epistréphō (G1994)

“back again”

also renders stréphō (G4762)

“turn back”
