	In Luke 2:7 we have kataluma translated as 'inn.  In 22:11 it is translated as 'upper room'.    

Can anyone suggest why this word would be translated in such different ways?   In 10:34 he uses PANDOXEION which is translated as 'inn'.   

Surely, the original author would not have intended this difference  in meaning in his original text.    

Did this discrepancy arise from St Jerome's Latin translation or is some other explanation more plausible.   

Why are 2:7 and 10:34 translated as inn from different Greek words but 2:7 and 22:11 translated differently from the same Greek words?
