French (Bailly abrégé)

particule affirmative avec l’acc. :
1 oui certes, j’en jure par (Zeus, etc.) : νὴ τοὺς θεούς XÉN j’en jure par les dieux ; νὴ Δία, νὴ τὸν Δία oui certes, par Zeus ! pardi !;
2 dans les réponses, qu’on se fait à soi-même non certes, tout au contraire (cf. lat. immo, immo vero).
Étymologie: cf. ναί.

English (Strong)

probably an intensive form of ναί; a particle of attestation (accompanied by the object invoked or appealed to in confirmation); as sure as: I protest by.

English (Thayer)

a particle employed in affirmations and oaths (common in Attic), and joined to an accusative of the person (for the most part, a divinity) or of the thing affirmed or sworn by (Buttmann, § 149,17); by (Latin per, German bei): Genesis 42:15f).

Greek Monotonic

νή: Αττ. μόριο που δηλώνει ισχυρή κατάφαση, όπως το Επικ. ναί· με αιτ. του ονόματος της θεότητας την οποία επικαλούνταν σαν όρκο, νὴΔία (στην καθομιλουμένη Αττ., νὴ Δί ή νηδί), σε Αριστοφ.· επίσης με άρθρο, νὴ τὸν Δία, στον ίδ.· νὴ τὴν Ἀθηνᾶν, νὴ τὴν Ἄρτεμιν, νὴ τὸν Ποσειδῶ, στον ίδ.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

νή: беот. νεί
1) (частица при клятвенном утверждении) да клянусь же! (νὴ Δία! и νὴ τὸν Δία! Arph.; νὴ τὴν Ἣραν! Plat.): νὴ τὴν ὑμετέραν καύχησιν NT сошлюсь в доказательство на вашу похвалу;
2) (вводно) право же, ведь (ἀλλὰ νὴ Δία ἑκὼν ἦλθε Xen.);
3) (вводно) и притом, ну (и) конечно: κρίνεσθαι τοὺς στρατηγοὺς καὶ νὴ Δία πρῶτον Περικλέα Xen. судить стратегов и, притом, прежде всего Перикла.
