SIBI-P1 G2087-02
different (feminine) others
| Root | ἕτερος (heteros) |
| Core Meanings | other, different, another of a different kind, distinct |
| Semantic Range | another of a different kind, distinct, alternative, additional but qualitatively different, strange or other-than-expected |
| Conceptual Significance | ἕτερος often marks qualitative distinction in Scripture, highlighting difference in kind rather than mere numerical addition. This distinction can carry theological weight when contrasting true vs. false teachings, different spirits, or distinct groups within a narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,RI,,,,NFP = adjective (relative/intensive form), nominative feminine plural; functioning substantivally as "others" (feminine). |
| Rendering Rationale | ἕτεραι is the nominative feminine plural form of ἕτερος, which denotes another of a different kind rather than merely another of the same kind. Rendering it as "different (feminine) others" preserves both the contrastive nuance of ἕτερος and the feminine plural nominative form indicated by the morphology. |
