neither / nor
| Morphological Notes | Coordinating conjunction (particle); used to join two or more negatively related clauses or elements, excluding each from the assertion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound of οὐ (not) and τε (and/also) literally conveys "not-and," functioning as a coordinating conjunction that excludes each connected element. "Neither / nor" preserves this negative linking force without adding contextual nuance. |
