neither

Greek Negative JOINED TO Greek Conjunction

οὔτε, adverb, (οὐ, τε) joining negative clauses, as τε joins positive, but rare in the simple sense and not, [Refs 8th c.BC+]; οὔτε γὰρ ἐκείνους διδόναι, Latin neque enim, [Refs]; and occasionally in later writers, [Refs 4th c.BC+] II) mostly repeated, οὔτε, οὔτε. neither, nor, Latin neque., neque, [Refs 8th c.BC+], as οὔτ᾽ ἂρ, οὔτε; οὔτ᾽ ἂρ, οὔτ᾽ ἂρ; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ τε, οὔτ᾽ ἄρα. [Refs 8th c.BC+]; οὔτ᾽ ἄρ, οὔτε τι, or οὔτε τι, οὔτε,[Refs 8th c.BC+]; so too οὔτε, οὔτε μὴν. [Refs 5th c.BC+] II.2) frequently used to divide up a general negation into two or more parts, ὡς δ᾽ ἐν ὀνείρῳ οὐ δύναται φεύγοντα διώκειν, οὔτ᾽ ἂρ ὁ τὸν δύναται ὑποφεύγειν οὔθ᾽ ὁ διώκειν [Refs 8th c.BC+]: without a negative preceding, [Refs 8th c.BC+] II.3) within one of the two clauses distinguished by οὔτε a subordinate part may be introduced by οὐδέ, οὔτε γὰρ ἐκ σκίλλης ῥόδα φύεται οὐδ᾽ ὑάκινθος (οὐθ᾽ codices), οὐ δέ ποτ᾽ ἐκ δούλης τέκνον ἐλευθέριον [Refs 6th c.BC+] nor yet incantations, [Refs 5th c.BC+] after clauses with μήτε, μήτε παιδεία μήτε δικαστήρια μήτε νόμοι μηδὲ ἀνάγκη μηδεμία [Refs]; so οὐδέ (μηδέ) may sometimes follow a single οὔτε (μήτε), οὐδέ ποτέ σφιν οὔτε τι πημανθῆναι ἔπι δέος, οὐδ᾽ ἀπολέσθαι neither to suffer misery, nor yet to die, see reading in [Refs 8th c.BC+]; but this cannot be done in some cases, as οὔτ᾽ ἂν ὑπό γε ἑνὸς. πάθοι, ἴσως δ᾽ οὐδὲ ὑπὸ πλεόνων [Refs 8th c.BC+]; by οὐδὲ μήν, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; οὐδ᾽ αὖ, see above—But οὔτε (μήτε) cannot be used simply answering to οὐδέ (μηδέ), see at {μηδέ} [Refs 4th c.BC+] II.4) οὔτε may be followed by a Posit. clause with τε, οὔτ᾽ αὐτὸς κτενέει, ἀπό τ᾽ ἄλλους πάντας ἐρύξει he both will not kill and will defend, [Refs 8th c.BC+]: sometimes the negative is added after the τε, οὔτ᾽ ὦν. καρπὸν ἔδωκαν ἄρουραι, δένδρεά τ᾽ οὐκ ἐθέλει. φέρειν [Refs 5th c.BC+]. is uncertain in [Refs 5th c.BC+], but is found in later writers, as [Refs 2nd c.AD+] II.5) οὔτε is frequently, by anacoluthon, followed not by a second οὔτε, but by some other Particle, as by οὐδέ, see above 3; by δέ alone, [Refs 8th c.BC+] II.5.b) in Poets, οὐ sometimes follows without any conjunctive Particle, οὐκ ἦν ἀλέξημ᾽ οὐδὲν οὔτε βρώσιμον, οὐ χριστόν, οὔτε πιστόν [Refs 4th c.BC+]; οὔτε πλινθυφεῖς δόμους. ᾖσαν, οὐ ξυλουργίαν[Refs 5th c.BC+]: so also in the Prose of [Refs 5th c.BC+] II.5.c) in Poets also οὔτε is sometimes replaced by οὐ, οὐ νιφετὸς οὔτ᾽ ἂρ χειμὼν πολὺς οὔτε ποτ᾽ ὄμβρος [Refs 8th c.BC+] II.5.d) the former οὔτε is sometimes omitted, ναυσὶ δ᾽ οὔτε πεζὸς ἰών [Refs 5th c.BC+]; νόσοι δ᾽ οὔτε γῆρας[Refs 4th c.BC+] II.6) when οὔτε and μήτε correspond, each retains its proper sense, ἀναιδὴς οὔτ᾽ εἰμὶ μήτε γενοίμην neither am I shameless, nor may I become so, [Refs 4th c.BC+]
