     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.
           [1913 Webster]
