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.

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.
