I wonder if, instead of deriving from "les autres" it derives from "vous
autres"--an expression I've often heard in Québec to differentiate "vous"
singular formal and "vous" plural. It has been my observation that there
are quite a few expressions/pronunciations/usages that exist in both Kreyòl
and French as spoken in Québec.
