αὐλή

aulḗ · Greek · Strong's G833 · 12 occurrences

The KJV renders 9 different Hebrew and Greek words as “palace”

What it means

a yard (as open to the wind); by implication, a mansion

from the same as G109 (ἀήρ);

How the KJV renders it

court, sheepfold, hall, palace

Where that flattens a distinction

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