Strong's Lexicon allós: other, another Original Word: ἄλλος Word Origin: A primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "אַחֵר" (acher), which also means "another" or "other." Usage: The Greek word "ἄλλος" (allós) is used to denote "another" or "other" in the sense of one more of the same kind. It is often used to distinguish between two or more items, people, or concepts that are similar in nature or category. In the New Testament, "allós" is frequently employed to indicate another of the same kind, as opposed to "heteros," which can imply another of a different kind. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "another" was significant in philosophical and rhetorical discussions, often used to compare and contrast ideas, people, or objects. The distinction between "allós" and "heteros" was important in understanding relationships and categories, reflecting a nuanced view of similarity and difference. In the context of the New Testament, this distinction helps clarify teachings and parables, emphasizing the continuity or similarity within a group or concept.
