Some other and another are synonymous (they mean the same), true, but other and another are not. ;-) Another is a spelling fused from two words, an other, meaning not the same thing in meaning, shape or form, whereas other can mean same meaning, shape or form; e.g., not that shoe, the other shoe; not that shoe, but another shoe, something different.
