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.
