Rootἕτερος (heteros)

In biblical usage, it can distinguish between differing teachings, spirits, or covenants, underscoring the importance of discerning true from fundamentally different alternatives.
Morphological NotesAdjectival/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 Rationaleἑτέραν 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.
