SIBI-P1 G2087-06
to a different one (of another kind)
| Root | ἕτερος (heteros) |
| Core Meanings | other of a different kind, distinct, another (qualitatively different), alternate |
| Semantic Range | another of a different kind, distinct person or thing, alternative, second in contrast, strange or different |
| Conceptual Significance | ἕτερος often marks qualitative distinction in contrast to ἄλλος (another of the same kind). In theological contexts it can signal deviation (e.g., a different gospel), distinction between persons, or categorical difference, sharpening contrasts within teaching and identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative singular masculine or neuter (Gr,RI/EF,,,,DMS/DNS). Functions attributively or substantively; here the dative marks indirect object, sphere, association, or reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἕτερος denotes another of a different kind, highlighting qualitative distinction rather than mere numerical addition. The form ἑτέρῳ is dative singular (masculine or neuter), so the rendering includes the dative sense "to" and preserves singular number while expressing qualitative otherness. |
