Hello Barbara and All,

It all really depends IMHO on how hETEROI translated. Having KAI as *also*
wouldn't really help if hETEROI is translated as "another, of the same
kind" if you see my point.

I would also note that Rogers&Rogers(Linguistic and Exegetical key to the
Greek New Testament) gives "other, of a different kind" for hETEROI  in
this passage.

Best Regards,
Harry Jones
