What it means

another's, i.e. not one's own; by extension foreign, not akin, hostile

from G243 (ἄλλος);

How the KJV renders it

alien, another man's, men's, strange

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
