Yes! In ASL, the same outward flipping motion with the 'A' handshape is used for 'other', 'another', and 'else'. The specific English translation depends entirely on the context of your sentence.
Your thumb should be extended alongside your fist, similar to a thumbs-up or an 'A' handshape. It leads the flipping motion and ends up pointing outward to the side.
This is a one-handed sign. You should use your dominant hand to perform the movement while your non-dominant hand rests comfortably.
