SIBI-P1 H312-01

another (masculine one)

Rootאחר (ʾ-ḥ-r)
Core Meaningsbehind, after, following, delay, otherness, succession
Semantic Rangeanother, other, different, subsequent, following, additional, strange (in the sense of belonging to another)
Conceptual Significanceאַחֵר marks distinction, succession, or replacement in narrative and law. It can denote legitimate succession (a following day or generation) or dangerous otherness (such as "other gods"), highlighting themes of covenant loyalty versus deviation.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or substantively to denote a single masculine referent distinct from a previously mentioned one.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective derives from the root אחר, conveying what is behind or following, and thus what is "other" or subsequent. The form is masculine singular absolute (HAamsa), so the rendering reflects a single masculine referent, preserving both number and gender while maintaining the root sense of one who comes after or is distinct.
