The text had read: "Unrelated to English other." This isn't necessarily true though.
According to OED: "These are from PIE *an-tero-(source of Lithuanian antras, Old Prussian anters "other, second), which is perhaps a variant of *al-tero- "the other of two" (source of Latin alter)" https://www.etymonline.com/word/other#etymonline_v_9948
And indeed, the PIE roots of the Germanic and Latin versions of other are rather similar, so it would make sense if they in fact split from the same older root. -2003:CA:872D:2F1D:E0E9:986:C5F:569 23:19, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
