"But there is a difference between jealousy and envy, no?"
As I understand it envy is a reaction to lacking something. Jealousy is a reaction to the threat of losing something (usually someone)? |

Jealousy is when you fear losing something to someone else ie when someone flirts with your partner, envy is when you feel resentful that you don't have something somebody else does. |

See I thought jealously was "I wish I had it INSTEAD of you"
Envy "awwww I wish I had one too" |

"Envy means discontented longing for someone else's advantages. Jealousy means unpleasant suspicion, or apprehension of rivalship. ... Envy is most often used to refer to a covetous feeling toward another person's attributes, possessions, or stature in life. Many people use jealous to mean the same thing."
