Synonyms

ἕτερος, see that word ἄ. denotes numerical, ἕ. qualitative difference. ἄ. generally "denotes simply distinction of individuals, ἕ. involves the secondary idea of difference in kind" (see Lft., Meyer, Ramsay, on Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:7; Tr., Syn., §xcv; Bl., §51, 6; M, Pr., 79f., 246; MM, VGT, s.vv.).
