Greek word

[edit]

It seems that Greek: Αλλά means "however", not "others". Consider άλλος, άλλη, άλλο ['alos, 'ali, 'alo] for "other" in single or άλλος, άλλες for "others" in plural. (Voldemar69 (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)).[reply]

Well it also means "but", but you have to consider it within the context of the lyrics seen here. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 14:28, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have understood what you mean; the English name is not a verbal translation. I cannot insist, since my knowledge of Greek is negligeable, but it seems rather curious, because the backwards translation to Greek gives the word different in meaning, but close in spelling. It is not two meanings of one word, but two similar Greek words.

And the curiousity is extended to Russian feminine name Alla, that originates to the orthodoxist saint Alla, which seems to be canonised due to the similar confusion in the single histotical text. A sort of "st.However" or "st.But" instead of "another unnamed woman" martyred. Voldemar69 (talk) 06:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
