- ἀπαλλοτριόω (apallotrióō, G526) specifically denotes the state or process of being estranged or alienated (passive sense prominent in NT usage), while זוּר (zûwr, H2114) encompasses both the estrangement concept and the broader semantic range of foreignness, strangeness, or being from another place/person (active and stative senses).
- נָכַר nâkar · H5234 · to recognize, to identify, to acknowledge
- נָכַר (nâkar, H5234) נָכַר encompasses a broader semantic range including recognition and acknowledgment, while ἀπαλλοτριόω (apallotrióō, G526) ἀπαλλοτριόω specifically denotes estrangement or alienation in the passive sense; the overlap occurs in the shared 'estrange' component where נָכַר's hiphil causative ('make strange/foreign') corresponds to ἀπαλλοτριόω's core alienation sense, particularly in contexts of relational separation or being made foreign.
