|txtha=(from [[Homer]] [[down]]), a neg. disjunctive [[conjunction]], compounded of οὐ and δέ, and [[therefore]] [[properly]], equivalent to [[but]] [[not]]; [[generally]], [[however]], its oppositive [[force]] [[being]] [[lost]], it serves to [[continue]] a [[negation]]. (On the elision of ἐ [[when]] the [[next]] [[word]] begins [[with]] a vowel (observed by Tdf. in [[eight]] instances, neglected in [[fifty]]-[[eight]]), [[see]] Tdf. Proleg., p. 96; cf.

There appears to be [[some]] [[mistake]] [[here]] in [[what]] is said [[about]] '[[mutual]] [[exclusion]]' (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 55,6): [[οὐδέ]], [[like]] δέ, [[always]] makes [[reference]] to [[something]] [[preceding]]; [[οὔτε]] to [[what]] follows [[also]]; the [[connection]] of clauses made [[negative]] by [[οὔτε]] is [[close]] and [[internal]], so [[that]] [[they]] are [[mutually]] complementary and [[combine]] [[into]] a [[unity]], [[whereas]] clauses negatived by [[οὐδέ]] [[follow]] [[one]] [[another]] [[much]] [[more]] [[loosely]], [[often]] [[almost]] by [[accident]] as it were; [[see]] Winer's Grammar, at the [[passage]] cited, and [[especially]] the quotations [[there]] given from Benfey and Klotz.)
