Another, other; Aramaic adjective used in Daniel's visions to distinguish successive kingdoms and beasts.
An Aramaic adjective meaning 'another' or 'other,' used in the book of Daniel to mark the succession of world empires in apocalyptic vision. Each time a new beast or kingdom emerges in the prophetic sequence, this word signals the transition. The Spanish translations capture the flexibility well: otro for masculine, otra for feminine. In Dan 2:39 it introduces the kingdoms following Nebuchadnezzar's, and in Dan 7:5-8 it distinguishes each beast from the one before it.
Senses
1. another / other (Aramaic adjective) — Another or other (Aramaic אָחֳרִי), used attributively and predicatively in Daniel to distinguish successive entities in prophetic visions. In the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's statue, it introduces the inferior kingdoms that follow Babylon (Dan 2:39, twice). In the vision of the four beasts, it marks each new creature rising from the sea: the bear-like beast (Dan 7:5), the leopard-like beast (Dan 7:6), and the little horn distinct from the ten (Dan 7:8). French renders it as après ('after'), highlighting the sequential force of the word. 6×
