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

What it means

a nest (as fixed), sometimes including the nestlings; figuratively, a chamber or dwelling

contracted from H7077 (קָנַן);

How the KJV renders it

nest, room

Where that flattens a distinction

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

room
also renders diádochos (G1240), tópos (G5117)
nest
also renders kataskḗnōsis (G2682)

Where it appears
