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.
“nest”
also renders kataskḗnōsis (G2682)
