SIBI-P1 G2087-10
another-of-a-different-kind one (nominative masculine singular)
| Root | ἕτερος (héteros) |
| Core Meanings | other of a different kind, distinct, another (qualitatively different), alternate |
| Semantic Range | another of a different sort, distinct, different, alternate, second (of a contrasting kind), other party |
| Conceptual Significance | ἕτερος often highlights qualitative distinction, sometimes marking contrast between true and false (e.g., a different teaching or gospel). Its use can signal theological divergence, covenantal contrast, or distinction between groups, emphasizing difference in nature rather than mere number. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (RI), nominative masculine singular (NMS). Used either attributively with a masculine singular noun or substantively as a masculine singular subject meaning "another (man/one)." |
| Rendering Rationale | ἕτερος denotes another that is qualitatively distinct rather than merely numerically additional (as with ἄλλος). Rendering it "another-of-a-different-kind one" preserves this contrastive nuance. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by "one" in subject form, marked as masculine singular. |
