Else \Else\, a. & pron. [OE. & AS. elles otherwise, gen. sing.
of an adj. signifying other; akin to OHG. elles otherwise,
OSw. [aum]ljes, Sw. eljest, Goth. aljis, adj., other, L.
alius, Gr. ?. Cf. {Alias}, {Alien}.]
Other; one or something beside; as, Who else is coming? What
else shall I give? Do you expect anything else? "Bastards and
else." --Shak.

the possessive form to else rather than to the
substantive; as, somebody else's; no one else's. "A boy
who is fond of somebody else's pencil case." --G.
Eliot. "A suit of clothes like everybody else's."
--Thackeray.
