neov is the new as contemplated under the aspect of time, that
which has recently come into existence.
kainov is the new under the aspect of quality, that which has
not seen service. kainov therefore often means new as contrasted
with that which has decayed with age, or is worn out, its opposite then
being palaiov. It sometimes suggests that which is unusual. It
often implies praise, the new as superior to the old. Occasionally, on
the other hand, it implies the opposite, the new as inferior to that
which is old, because the old is familiar or because it has improved
with age. Of course it is evident that both neov and kainov may
sometimes be applied to the same object, but from different points of
view.
