SIBI-P1 G2087-09
another-of-a-different-kind (masculine accusative singular / neuter nominative singular)
| Root | ἕτερος (héteros) |
| Core Meanings | other of a different kind, distinct, another (qualitatively different), alternative |
| Semantic Range | another of a different kind, distinct, alternative, second (in contrast), different, other than expected, sometimes contrasted with ἄλλος (another of the same kind) |
| Conceptual Significance | ἕτερος often highlights qualitative distinction rather than mere numerical addition, marking contrast, difference in nature, or deviation. In theological contexts, it can underscore divergence from true teaching (e.g., "a different gospel") or distinction between persons, realities, or covenants. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (Gr,RI); forms attested here are accusative masculine singular (AMS) and nominative neuter singular (NNS). As an adjective, it agrees with its noun in gender, number, and case, and may function substantivally ("another one/thing"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the qualitative distinction inherent in ἕτερος—"another of a different kind" rather than merely an additional one. The grammatical note reflects that ἕτερον functions either as masculine accusative singular (a distinct other one as direct object) or neuter nominative singular (a distinct other thing as subject), maintaining gender, number, and case distinctions present in the forms. |
