not-and (neither/nor)
| Root | οὔτε (oute) |
| Core Meanings | neither, nor, not even, not-and |
| Semantic Range | neither...nor, nor, not even, and not, neither indeed |
| Conceptual Significance | οὔτε intensifies and links negations in biblical discourse, often pairing multiple elements under a single denial. It reinforces comprehensive exclusion—excluding one item and equally excluding another—thus strengthening rhetorical emphasis and theological absolutes (e.g., neither life nor death). |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction/particle (Gr,CO; Gr,DO); coordinating or disjunctive conjunction; indeclinable with no inflection for tense, voice, mood, person, number, gender, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | οὔτε is a compound of οὐ (not) and τε (and), functioning as a coordinating or disjunctive conjunction. Rendering it as "not-and" preserves its root components and shows how it joins clauses or elements under a shared negation, expressing "neither...nor." As an indeclinable particle, it carries no tense, voice, case, gender, or number distinctions to reflect. |
