a different other (feminine singular object)
| Root | ἕτερος (heteros) |
| Core Meanings | other, different, another of a different kind, distinct, alternative |
| Semantic Range | another of a different kind, a distinct or alternative person or thing, a second, a different category or class |
| Conceptual Significance | ἕτερος often highlights qualitative difference rather than mere numerical addition (contrast with ἄλλος). In biblical usage, it can distinguish between differing teachings, spirits, or covenants, underscoring the importance of discerning true from fundamentally different alternatives. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjectival/pronominal form (ἕτερος); accusative, feminine, singular (AFS). Used to modify or stand in for a feminine noun as the direct object of a verb or preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἑτέραν is the accusative feminine singular form of ἕτερος, indicating a feminine noun functioning as the direct object. The rendering "a different other" preserves the root sense of qualitative distinction (another of a different kind), while "feminine singular object" reflects its grammatical form. |
