Webster's 1913 Dictionary
 
 Definition: 
\An*oth"er\, pron. & a. [An a, one + other.]
1. One more, in addition to a former number; a second or
   additional one, similar in likeness or in effect.
         Another yet! -- a seventh! I 'll see no more.
                                               --Shak.
         Would serve to scale another Hero's tower. --Shak.
2. Not the same; different.
         He winks, and turns his lips another way. --Shak.
3. Any or some; any different person, indefinitely; any one
   else; some one else.
         Let another man praise thee, and not thine own
         mouth.                                --Prov. xxvii.
                                               2.
         While I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
                                               --John v. 7.
Note: As a pronoun another may have a possessive another's,
      pl. others, poss. pl. other'. It is much used in
      opposition to one; as, one went one way, another
      another. It is also used with one, in a reciprocal
      sense; as, ``love one another,'' that is, let each love
      the other or others. ``These two imparadised in one
      another's arms.'' --Milton.
