The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “whether”

What it means

lo! also there(-fore), (un-) less, whether, but, if

(Aramaic) corresponding to H2005 (הֵן);

How the KJV renders it

whether

Where that flattens a distinction

whether
also renders póteron (G4220), tís (G5101), ʻôwd (H5750)
