Similar
King James Dictionary [1]
Sim'Ilar, a. L. similis Gr. omaloV. Like resembling having a like form or appearance. Similar may signify exactly alike, or having a general likeness, a likeness in the principal points. Things perfectly similar, in their nature, must be of the same essence, or homogeneous but we generally understand similar to denote a likeness that is not perfect.

The manners of the several states of New England are similar, the people being derived from common ancestors.
