Hypertext Webster Gateway: "another"

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)

Another \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.
