ἄλλης
állos
An adjective meaning 'another' or 'other' in the sense of 'another of the same kind or group,' primarily used to distinguish one object, person, or idea from another within the same category. In extended contexts, it can highlight an additional or alternative individual or item, often in contrast to a previously mentioned one. While primarily used to describe difference within the same class, it may, in some constructions, simply designate 'some other' or 'someone/something else.'

of another
| Morphological Notes | Adjective/determiner, genitive feminine singular (GFS); from ἄλλος, modifying a feminine singular noun in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form ἄλλης expresses possession, source, or relation, so "of another" preserves the genitive force while maintaining the core sense of "another of the same kind." |
