The KJV renders 16 different Hebrew and Greek words as “side”

What it means

the right hand or side (leg, eye) of a person or other object (as the stronger and more dexterous); locally, the south

from H3231 (יָמַן);

How the KJV renders it

right hand, side, south

Where that flattens a distinction

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