other
An adjective meaning 'another' or 'other' in the sense of 'another of the same kind or group,' primarily used to distinguish one object, person, or idea from another within the same category. In extended contexts, it can highlight an additional or alternative individual or item, often in contrast to a previously mentioned one. While primarily used to describe difference within the same class, it may, in some constructions, simply designate 'some other' or 'someone/something else.'

but rather
| Morphological Notes | Correlative/conjunctive particle (Gr,CO/CC); adversative conjunction introducing contrast or correction; no inflection for case, gender, or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | "But rather" preserves the strong adversative and corrective force inherent in ἀλλά, reflecting its root sense of introducing what is other or different in contrast to what precedes. As a conjunction, it functions to mark contrast or replacement, not simple coordination. |
