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.
