Senses in use

  1. Coordination of alternatives under negation · dominant

    The supplied morphology consistently identifies οὔτε as a conjunction. In 1 Corinthians 3:7 the APB renders a clause denying significance to both “the one who plants” and “the one who waters”; in John 9:3 it denies that either the man or his parents sinned; and in Romans 8:38 the negative list extends across “death,” “life,” “angels,” and other stated alternatives.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly expresses the coordinated negation with “neither … nor,” while some clauses use “nor” or fold the negative coordination into a list. These English forms show the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed one-word rendering.
