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
