Thanks a lot.
Then how about the following sentences:
"When I came back, there was another passenger, but then three _______________more women came."
There are only 2 answers: "another" and "else". Which is appropriate?

True neither is possible in English.
'When I came back, she was there, and three other women had also arrived' is good, although I prefer 'She was there when I came back and three other women had also arrived'. Even better 'She was there when I came back along with three other women'.
Drop 'another', drop 'more', they are awkward to use in this instance. Go with 'other' instead.

She was there when I came back along with three other women.-- This is a bit different, though; here, all 4 women came together. The tone of the original is that she arrived separately and perhaps earlier.
