Inter alia

[nq:1]Hi, I'd appreciate any clues to finding an English word abbreviation of latin "i.a." ("inter alia"), equivalent to e.g. German "u.A." ("unter Anderem"). Google gave too much and too little. Is there such an abbreviation as "aot." for "among

Thanks a lot. "Inter alia" it is.

I don't feel I've seen "i.a." before, but wondered if it was in use. When your OP came in I had a look in my Collins dictionary and COD

Strangely, "et al" doesn't appear on that site, at least not in the DEFG rank.
It doesn't mean quite the same as "i.a.", but is cl

[nq:1]Now, I don't know much Latin, so I am sure to be corrected if my understanding of "et al" is wrong. As I understand, it is short for "et alia".[/nq]
"Et alia" would be "and other things," while "et alii" is "and other people/men/male-gendered things." The latter is usually what is meant. "Et aliae" would be "and other women/feminine-gen

Thanks to all so far.
BTW, would "such as" or "including" be equivalent to "among other things"?
And would "amongst" mean that the inter alia subject is itself a plural, like "they were leaders amongst their people", or is there another distinction, like old/new expression?
And can one say "among other", or is the "things" mandato

Well, I consider "amongst" to be a synonym of "among", and use both when the spirit moves me. Others may not like the "old-fashioned" soun

[nq:1]both. Thanks, Tor. Would you say that the same forms/variations would apply to "alia" as used in "inter alia"?[/nq]
No. In et alxx we have nominative case forms. Alia in "inter alia" is the object of a preposition taking the accusative case. So the masculine/common form is inter alios and the feminine-only form is inter alias. Only in the neuter, alia, does this word happen to have the s

OK, so it is a style variation, not a decli
