  Else \Else\, adv. & conj.
     1. Besides; except that mentioned; in addition; as, nowhere
        else; no one else.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Otherwise; in the other, or the contrary, case; if the
        facts were different.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give
              it.                                   --Ps. li. 16.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: After `or', else is sometimes used expletively, as
           simply noting an alternative. ``Will you give thanks, .
           . . or else shall I?'' --Shak.
           [1913 Webster]

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 :   [ gcide ]

  Else \Else\, a. & pron. [OE. & AS. elles otherwise, gen. sing.
     of an adj. signifying other; akin to OHG. elles otherwise,
     OSw. ["a]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.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This word always follows its noun. It is usual to give
           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.
