The KJV renders 14 different Hebrew and Greek words as “but”

What it means

properly, leanness, i.e. (figuratively) limitation; only adverbial, merely, or conjunctional, although

the same as H7534 (רַק) as a noun;

How the KJV renders it

but, even, except, howbeit howsoever, at the least, nevertheless, nothing but, notwithstanding, only, save, surely, yet, in any wise
