[
Synonyms: ἄλλος,
ἕτερος:
ἄλ. as compared with
ἕτ. denotes numerical in distinction from qualitative difference;
ἄλ. adds ('one besides'),
ἕτ. distinguishes ('one of two'); every
ἕτ. is an
ἄλ., but not every
ἄλ. is a
ἕτ.;
ἄλ. generally 'denotes simply distinction of individuals,
ἕτερος involves the secondary idea of difference of kind';
e. g. 2 Corinthians 11:4;
Galatians 1:6, 7. See Bp. Lightfoot and Meyer on the latter passage; Trench, § xcv.; Schmidt, chapter 198.]
