لَا غَيْرَ
No other one or no alternative.
Depending on its context, lā ghayr can exclude the category of alternatives rather than reject one expressly named candidate. Its grammatical explanation involves the status of ghayr and potentially understood material.
Do not treat every occurrence of lā as though it performed identical coordination. Explicit exclusion of one alternative and generic denial of “others” are different semantic configurations.
