Parallel reading

الغيرة، بالكسر: الميرة.

Al-ghayrah, with kasrah: provisions.

وغير بمعنى: سوى، وتكون بمعنى لا: {فمن اضطر غير باغ} ، أي: جائعا لا باغيا، وبمعنى إلا، وهو اسم ملازم للإضافة في المعنى، ويقطع عنها لفظا إن فهم معناه وتقدمت عليها ليس، قيل وقولهم: لا غير لحن، وهو غير جيد، لأنه مسموع في قول الشاعر: جوابا به تنجو اعتمد فوربنا ... لعن عمل أسلفت لا غير تسأل

And ghayr meaning: other than, and it can mean la (not): {whoever is forced not transgressing}, meaning: hungry, not transgressing, and meaning illa (except). It is a noun that is inherently followed by an إضافة in meaning, and is separated from it in pronunciation if its meaning is understood and preceded by laysa. It is said that their saying: la ghayr is an error, and it is not good, because it is heard in the saying of the poet: As an answer by which you are saved, rely, and by our Lord... for deeds you have done, you are not asked for anything else.

وقولهم: لا غير لحن، وهو غير جيد

And their saying: la ghayr is an error, and it is not good

جوابا به تنجو اعتمد فوربنا ... لعن عمل أسلفت لا غير تسأل

As an answer by which you are saved, rely, and by our Lord... for deeds you have done, you are not asked for anything else

وقبضت عشرة ليس غيرها، بالرفع وبالنصب.

And I received ten, not other than it, with nominative and accusative.

وليس غير، بالفتح: على حذف المضاف وإضمار الاسم.

And laysa ghayr, with fatha: is on the deletion of the added noun and the omission of the noun.

وليس غير، بالرفع.

And laysa ghayr, with nominative.

وليس غيرا، بالنصب.

And laysa ghayran, with accusative.

وإذا وقعت بين ضدين ك {غير المغضوب عليهم} ، ضعف إبهامها أو زال

And if it occurs between two opposites like {other than those who have earned Your anger}, its ambiguity is weakened or removed

وإذا كانت للاستثناء، أعربت إعراب الاسم التالي "إلا" في ذلك الكلام، فتنصب في: جاء القوم غير زيد، وتجيز النصب والرفع في: ما جاء أحد غير زيد

And if it is for exception, it is inflected like the noun following 'illa' in that speech, so it is accusative in: The people came, other than Zayd, and it permits accusative and nominative in: No one came, other than Zayd.

جاء القوم غير زيد — The people came, other than Zayd

The people came, other than Zayd

ما جاء أحد غير زيد — No one came, other than Zayd

No one came, other than Zayd

وإذا أضيفت لمبني جاز بناؤها على الفتح، كقوله: لم يمنع الشرب منها غير أن نطقت ... حمامة في غصون ذات أوقال

And if it is added to a fixed word, its construction on the fatha is permissible, as in his saying: Nothing prevented drinking from it except that a dove spoke among branches with clusters of fruit.

تغير عن حاله: تحول.

He changed from his condition: he transformed.

وغيره: جعله غير ما كان، وحوله، وبدله، والاسم: الغير.

And to change it: to make it other than what it was, to transform it, and to substitute it, and the noun is: al-ghayr.
