The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “colt”

What it means

properly, a young ass (as just broken to a load); hence an ass-colt

from H5782 (עוּר) in the sense of raising (i.e. bearing a burden);

How the KJV renders it

colt, foal, young ass

Where that flattens a distinction

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

“colt”

also renders pōlos (G4454), bên (H1121)

“foal”

also renders huiós (G5207), bên (H1121)

“young ass”

also renders onárion (G3678)
