immo: incorrectly written īmo perh. sup. form from in, with ending mo; cf.: summus, primus; hence,
I on the contrary, no indeed, by no means, or yes indeed, by all means (more commonly contradicting or essentially qualifying what precedes; but never, like minime, as an independent negative, being regularly accompanied by a clause defining the meaning; v. Krebs, Antibarb. p. 551).
I Lit.
A In gen.: Tr. Etiam fatetur de hospite? Th. Immo pernegat, Plaut. Most. 3, 1, 19: An. Ubi? domin'? Ch. Immo apud libertum Discum, Ter. Eun. 3, 5, 60: Do. Hae quid ad me? To.

Heaut. 4, 3, 28.—Esp., in a reply extending or amplifying the preceding thought (cf.: potius, quin potius): expedies? nempe ut modo? D. Immo melius spero, Ter. Hec. 3, 4, 22; Plaut. Ps. 1, 5, 80: Si. Quid? hoc intellextin'? an nondum etiam ne hoc quidem? Da. Immo callide, Ter. And. 1, 2, 30: non igitur faciat, dixerit quis, quod utile sit, quod expediat? Immo intelligat nihil nec expedire nec utile esse, quod sit injustum, Cic. Off. 3, 17, 76: causa igitur non bona est? Immo optima, id. Att. 9, 7, 4; cf.: quem hominem? levem? immo gravissimum. Mobilem? immo constantissimum. Familiarem? immo alienissimum, id. Rosc. Com. 16, 49; id. Att. 10, 12, 4: cum ille dixisset, se vero non exspectare; Immo, inquit, rogo exspectes, Quint. 9, 3, 68: quid tu? Nullane habes vitia? Immo alia. Et fortasse minora? Hor. S. 1, 3, 20; Plin. Pan. 36, 3.—So in retorting a question: Me. Quid apud hasce aedes negotii est tibi? So. Immo quid tibi'st? Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 194; id. Bacch. 2, 2, 29: Ph. An amabo meretrix illa est, quae illam sustulit? La. Immo meretrix fuit; sed ut sit, de ea re eloquar, id. Cist. 2, 3, 22; cf. id. Most. 3, 2, 41: Si. Paucis te volo. So. Dictum puta: Nempe ut curentur recte haec. Si. Immo aliud, Ter. And. 1, 1, 2.—
2 Strengthened by edepol, hercle, ecastor, vero, potius, etc.: Ol. Ecquid amas nunc me? St. Immo edepol me quam te minus, Plaut. Cas. 2, 8, 19; id. Capt. 2, 1, 16: St. Quod bonum atque fortunatum mihi sit. Ol. Ita vero et mihi. Ch. Non. Ol. Immo hercle. Ch. Immo mihi hercle, id. Cas. 2, 6, 51; Ter. Ad. 5, 8, 5: Pa. Mala es. Ph. Immo ecastor, Plaut. Mil. 2, 5, 33: Pa. Nescis, Parmeno, Quantum hodie profueris mihi, etc. ... Par. Immo vero scio, neque hoc imprudens feci, Ter. Hec. 5, 4, 37: quid? si tyrannidem occupare, si patriam prodere conabitur pater: silebitne filius? Immo vero obsecrabit patrem, ne id faciat, Cic. Off. 3, 23, 90; id. Q. Fr. 1, 3, 1: Tr.
