  Thus the red damask curtains which now shut out the fog-laden, drizzling atmosphere of the Marylebone Road, had cost a mere song, and yet they might have been warranted to lastanother thirty years. A great bargain also had been the excellent Axminster carpet which covered the floor; […].

Usage notes

[edit]

As a fused head constructionanother may have a possessiveanother's (plural:others or possessiveothers'). It is much used in opposition toone; as, "one went one way, another went another". It is also used withone in a reciprocal sense; as, "loveone another," that is, let each love the other or others.
- John Milton
  These two imparadised in oneanother's arms.
Another is usually used with a singular noun, but constructions such as "another five days", "another twenty miles", "another few people", "another fifty dollars" are valid too.
Sometimes, the wordwhole is inserted intoanother by the common process oftmesis, giving: "a whole nother." This is a colloquialism that some recommend avoiding in formal writing.^[1] The prescribed alternatives are "a whole other" or "another whole".
There may be ambiguity:another may or may not imply replacement, e.g. "I need another chair." may mean "My chair needs to be replaced." or "I need an additional chair [and I need to keep my existing chair]."
