What it means

properly, the whole; hence, all, any or every (in the singular only, but often in a plural sense)

or (Jeremiah 33:8) כּוֹל; from H3634 (כָּלַל);

How the KJV renders it

all manner, altogether, any, enough, every one, place, thing, howsoever, as many as, nothing, ought, whatsoever, whole, whoso

Where that flattens a distinction

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