STRONGS G3761:
οὐδέ (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.
WHs Appendix, p. 146;
Winers Grammar, § 5, 1 a.;
Buttmann, p. 10f) It signifies:
1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from
οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since
τέ is adjunctive like the Latin
que; but
οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other ((?). 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.) It differs from
μηδέ as
οὐ does from
μή (which see ad at the beginning); after
οὐ, where each has its own verb:
