[B-Greek] hETEROS or ALLOS

Classical Greek scholars, some anyway, tell us that
there was a distinction between hETEROS and ALLOS.
hETEROS indicated 'another of a different kind' while
ALLOS indicated 'another of the same kind.'

Was this distinction generally observed in Classical
Greek?

Next, Koine scholars, some anyway, indicate that the
Classical distinction of these two words was no longer
observed. Suppose that a NT writer wanted to make this
distinction in a particular passage, how could he do
so? Maybe my question is better written: can a NT
writer bring out the Classical distinction between
hETEROS and ALLOS, and if so, how?
