What about the two superlatives, is there the same distinction?
Thanks, Massimo

"He lives farther [away] from you than I do."
"We will drive two kilometers farther today."
"Further" is appropriate for abstract and intangible distances:
"Let's discuss this matter further."
"Any further probing will only waste
