The KJV renders 16 different Hebrew and Greek words as “unto”
What it means
which how, i.e. in that manner (very variously used, as follows)
probably adverb of comparative from G3739 (ὅς);
How the KJV renders it
about, after, as it had been, it were, as soon, even as, for, how, like as, unto, since, that, to wit, when, while, x with all speed
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
