An Aramaic adjective meaning 'another' or 'different.' Used in Daniel 2:11 where the Chaldeans declare no one can reveal the dream 'except the gods whose dwelling is not with mortal flesh.'
The Chaldeans' declaration that only 'other' (divine) beings can reveal mysteries sets up Daniel's demonstration: Israel's God bridges the gap between divine and human. This anticipates the Incarnation -- God who is wholly 'other' became flesh (John 1:14). In Christ, the divine 'other' is no longer distant.
