  Than \Than\ ([th][a^]n), conj. [OE. than, thon, then, thanne,
     thonne, thenne, than, then, AS. [eth]anne, [eth]onne,
     [eth][ae]nne; akin to D. dan, OHG. danne, G. dann then, denn
     than, for, Goth. [thorn]an then, and to E. the, there, that.
     See That, and cf. Then.]
     A particle expressing comparison, used after certain
     adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity,
     as more, better, other, otherwise, and the like. It is
     usually followed by the object compared in the nominative
     case. Sometimes, however, the object compared is placed in
     the objective case, and than is then considered by some
     grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is
     expressed in a sentence, usually introduced by that; as, I
     would rather suffer than that you should want.
