THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS FOR "OTHER", "ANOTHER".

  1. allos = another of the same kind (denoting numerical distinction).  The second of two where there may be more :  e.g. Matt. 10:23; 25:16, 17, 20; 27:42, 61; 28:1.  John 18:15, 16; 20:2-4.  Rev. 17:10.  See note on John 19:18.

  2. heteros = another of a different kind (usually denoting generic distinction).  The "other" of two, where there are only two :  e.g. Matt. 6:24; 11:3.  Luke 5:7; 7:41; 14:31; 16:13, 18; 17:34, 35; 18:10; 23:40.

  3. loipos = the remaining one.  Pl. = those who are left.

  4. tines = certain ones.  2Cor. 3:1

  5. kakeinos = and that one there.  Contraction of kai ekeinos, only translated "other" in Matt. 23:25 and Luke 11:42.

  6. allotrios = not one's own, belonging to another, or others (Heb. 9:25).  Hence a foreigner.  See Luke 16:12
