How the English word “another” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
ANOTH'ER, adjective
[an, or one and other.]
- Not the same; different; as, we have one form of government; France, another
- One more, in addition to a former number, indefinitely; as, grant one request, they will ask another favor, another and another
- Any other; any different person, indefinitely; as, 'Let another praise thee and not thy own mouth.' This word is often used without a noun, becoming a substitute for the name of the person or thing; as in the last example.
