SIBI-P1 H312-01
another (masculine one)
| Root | אחר (ʾ-ḥ-r) |
| Core Meanings | behind, after, following, delay, otherness, succession |
| Semantic Range | another, other, different, subsequent, following, additional, strange (in the sense of belonging to another) |
| Conceptual Significance | אַחֵר 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 Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or substantively to denote a single masculine referent distinct from a previously mentioned one. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
