SIBI-P1 Translation G2087-09
another (distinct one)
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; accusative masculine singular (also attested in nominative/accusative neuter singular in some forms); denotes a distinct or different one. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects ἕτερος as denoting one that is different in kind or distinct from another, not merely numerically additional. The accusative masculine singular form indicates a single distinct entity functioning as the object. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
of others
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'another (distinct one)' to 'of others' to properly indicate the genitive plural and possessive nuance in this context, as this refers to what belongs to other people, not another of a different kind. |
