ELSE Copy link • ELSE 1. adj., alius. Vid: ELSE = besides. 2. Besides, praeterea; but mostly by alius or its derivatives. Somewhere else, alibi, alio loco: (to some other place) alio. From somewhere else, aliunde: and no where else, nec usquam alibi: nobody else, nemo alius; nullus alter (Liv.): nothing else, nihil aliud: what else? quid praeterea? quid aliud? who else? quis alius? Have you anything else to say? num quid aliud tibi dicendum est? And whatever else usually happens, et quicquid aliud fieri solet: I have nobody else to recommend, alium, quem commendem, habeo neminem :they say that the enemy were afraid of him, and of nobody else, eum unum ab hostibus metui, praeterea neminem: what else has happened? quid aliud accidit? Other wise, aliter (in another manner): alioquin (on the opposite supposition). Or else a large house is a disgrace to its owner, aliter ampla domus domino fit dedecori (Cic., Off., 1, 39, 139). I think that this was but little desired in old times, or else we should have many instances of it, credo minimam olim istius rei fuisse cupiditatem, alioquin multa exstarent exempla (Cic.).”Or else” may also be translated by aut only.
