nothing
A limit, end, or extremity; in various contexts, can denote a boundary (geographical or abstract), a point of cessation, or nonexistence. Used often as a negative particle or adverbial expression (e.g., nothing, none, only) to indicate the absence of something or the idea of exclusivity ('none besides'). Can also refer, in the dual form, to the ankle, as the extremity of the leg.
