Notice there is NO article before the greek word for woman....that means the word is indefinite...A is an indefinite article. When words in the greek lack definite articles they are usually considered indefinite unless there is a grammatical reason to view them otherwise.......The KJV is wrong there

Also if the covering here is talking about the hair this statement woun't make any sence because she would not be able to cut her hair because she would all ready have cut it.Not covered would mean the same as to cut and shorn means to cut,so this statement would make no sence.
1 Cor,11:6: For if the woman be not covered(cut her hair), let her also be shorn(cut her hair): but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

Right...unless by covered Paul has in mind komaō...long hair. In other words, if she will not allow her hair to grow long and worn as a veil, she might as well be shorn.

Let's also notice again the context here

It's interesting that when Paul discusses praying or prophesying he immediately jumps to hair...and hair being a covering
1Co 11:13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
1Co 11:14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him,
1Co 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
