1. 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.
