The word _other-some_ occurs in the authorised version of the Bible, Acts

xvii. 18. "Other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods." It

does not occur in any of the earlier versions of this passage in Bagster's

_English Hexapla_. Halliwell says that it is "a quaint but pretty phrase of

frequent occurrence," and gives an example dated 1570. _Unneath_, according

to the same authority, is used in Somersetshire. _Other-some_ is constantly

used in Norfolk. I think it, however, a pity that your space should be

occupied by such Queries as these, which a simple reference to Halliwell's

_Dictionary_ would have answered.
