Allos | Greek Mnemonics


Bill Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Vocabulary Cards (2nd Edition):

28.) allos (ἄλλος, -η, -ο): other, another 


Mnemonics / Memory Aids:

A.) Alas, another

B.) All us others are here. (Bill Mounce) 

C.) “All of us are just like each other.” Allos sounds like “all,” hinting at others of the same group or kind. (ChatGPT) 

D.) An allegory is a description of one thing using the image of another. (Bill Mounce) 

E.) In an allegory, one thing (the meaning or the message) is represented by ‘another’ thing, as in the fable of the tortoise and the hare. (Danny Zacharias, FlashGreek Lite) 

F.) All loss is a chance for another beginning down a different road with other outcomes. (Tanner Huss) 

G.) “He ordered all those tacos—another round, just like the first!” Use allos when ordering more of the same kind. (ChatGPT, adapted) 

H.) “Call Allos when you need another helper just like the first.” Imagine a company called “Allos Assistants”. (ChatGPT) 

I.) Allulose is a sugar that tastes like the other (real sugar), but without the calories—just like allos is the other of the same kind. (ChatGPT) 

J.) We all lost the game to the other team. Focus on allos sounding like "all loss" or "all of us." (Google Gemini, adapted)

K.) “We all lost our minds when we saw the other side of the mountain!” A bit dramatic, but uses the sound of allos. (Google Gemini, adapted)
