What do ほかには and ほかのは mean?


What do ほかには and ほかのは mean? How are they different from one another?

And why is に used in ほかに? Is there an explanation for it or is it just
naturally said? Thanks!




ほかには means "Other than that..." where "that" refers to the topic you were
discussing. に here is working adverbially, as it would in expressions like
一般的に.

ほかのは means "As for the other one(s)..." To my ear, の is working as a pronoun
as it would be in 私のは e.g.:

> このカバンは重いですが、他のは軽いです。

This briefcase is heavy; the other ones are light.
