οὐοὐ, the negative of fact and statement, as μή of will and thought; οὐ denies, μή rejects; οὐ is absolute, μή relative; οὐ objective, μή subjective. —The same differences hold for all compds. of οὐ and μή, and some examples of οὐδέ and οὐδείς are included below.—As to the Form, v. infr. G. USAGE. as the negative of single words, as the negative of the sentence. οὐ adhering to single words so as to form a quasi-compd. with them

for exceptions, v. μή B. 6. when the part. is used with the Art., μή is generally used, unless there is a distinct reference to a fact, when οὐ is occasionally found, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς οὐκ οὔσης ἔτι [πόλεως] ὁρμώμενοι Th.1.74; τοὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει οὐδὲν εἰδότας Id.4.111; οἱ οὐκ ἐθέλοντες Antipho 6.26; τῶν οὐ βουλομένων And.1.9; τοὺς οὐδὲν ἀδικοῦντας ἀκρίτους ἀπέκτειναν Lys.12.82, cf. τὸν οὐδὲ συμπενθῆσαι τὰς τῆς πατρίδος συμφορὰς τολμήσαντα (preceded by τὸν . . μήτε ὅπλα θέμενον ὑπὲρ τῆς πατρίδος μήτε τὸ σῶμα παρασχόντα κτλ.) Lycurg.43; τὸ οὐχ εὑρημένον Pl.R.427e. Adjectives and abstract Substantives with the article commonly take μή (v. μή B. 7) but οὐ is occasionally used, τὰς οὐκ ἀναγκαίας πόσεις X.Lac.5.4; τοὺς οὐδένας E.IA371; τὸν οὐδέν Id.Ph.598 (whereas ὁ μηδείς, τὸ μηδέν is the rule); τὴν τῶν γεφυρῶν οὐ διάλυσιν the non- dissolution of the bridges, the fact of their notbeing broken up, Th.1.137; ἡ οὐ περιτείχισις Id.3.95; ἡ τῶν χωρίων οὐκ ἀπόδοσις Id.5.35, cf.E.

POSITION. οὐ is generally put immediately before the word which it negatives, οὐκ ἐκεῖνον ἐθεώμην.—ἀλλὰ τίνα μήν; ἔφη ὁ Τιγράνης X.Cyr.3.1.41; οὐχ αἱ τρίχες ποιοῦσιν αἱ λευκαὶ φρονεῖν Men.639; οὐ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἀκοντίζειν οὐκ ἔβαλον αὐτὸν ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸ μηδενὶ ὑπὸ τὸ ἀκόντιον ὑπελθεῖν Antipho 3.4.6: in Poetry the position is freq. more free, κίνδυνος ἄναλκιν οὐ φῶτα λαμβάνει Pi.O.1.81; οὐ ψεύδεϊ τέγξω λόγον ib. 4.19; κατακρύπτει δ᾽ οὐ κόνις ib.8.79; χρὴ πρὸς θεὸν οὐκ ἐρίζειν Id.P. 2.88: sts. emphatically at the end of the clause, καὶ τοὶ γὰρ αἰθοίσας ἔχοντες σπέρμ᾽ ἀνέβαν φλογὸς οὔ Id.O.7.48; ταρβήσει γὰρ οὔ S.Aj.545: in clauses opposed by μέν and δέ the οὐ (or μή) is freq. placed at the end, βούλονται μέν, δύνανται δ᾽ οὔ Th.6.38; οὗτος δ᾽ ἦν καλὸς μέν, μέγας δ᾽ οὔ X.An.4.4.3; ἔδοξέ μοι ὁ ἀνὴρ δοκεῖν μὲν εἶναι σοφὸς . . , εἶναι δ᾽ οὔ Pl.Ap.21c; so τὸ Πέρσας μὲν λέληθε, ἡμέας μέντοι οὔ Hdt.1.139: freq. with ὁ μὲν . . ὁ δέ, οὐ πάσας χρὴ τὰς δόξας τιμᾶν, ἀλλὰ τὰς μέν, τὰς δ᾽ οὔ Pl.Cri.47a, cf. Ap.24e, R.475b, etc.; Λέριοι κακοί, οὐχ ὁ μέν, ὃς δ᾽ οὔ Phoc.1: sts. in the first clause after μέν, οἱ δὲ στρατηγοὶ ἐξῆγον μὲν οὔ, συνεκάλεσαν δέ X.An.6.4.20, cf. 4.8.2, Cyr.1.4.10, Pl.Phd.73b; κατώρα πᾶν μὲν οὒ τὸ στρατόπεδον Hdt.7.208. ACCUMULATION. A simple neg. (οὐ or μή) is freq. repeated in composition with Prons., Advbs., or Conjs., as οὐδείς or μηδείς, οὐδέ or μηδέ, οὐδαμῶς or μηδαμῶς, first in Hom., οὔ μιν ὁΐομαιοὐδὲ πεπύσθαι λυγρῆς ἀγγελίης Il.17.641; ἀλλ᾽ οὔ μοι Τρώων τόσσον μέλει ἄλγος ὀπίσσω οὔτ᾽ αὐτῆς Ἑκάβης οὔτε Πριάμοιο ἄνακτος 6.450; οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν κρεῖσσον οἰκείου φίλου E.Andr.986: the first neg. may be a compd., καθεύδων οὐδεὶς οὐδενὸς ἄξιος οὐδὲν μᾶλλον τοῦ μὴ ζῶντος Pl. Lg.808b; οὐδενὶ οὐδαμῇ οὐδαμῶς οὐδεμίαν κοινωνίαν ἔχει Id.Prm.166a (similarly with μή, Phdr.236e): or a neg. Adj., ἀδύνατος οὐδὲν ἄλλο πλὴν λέγειν μάτην E.Andr.746; οὐ follows the compd. neg., οὐδ᾽ εἰ πάντες ἔλθοιεν Πέρσαι, πλήθει γε οὐχ ὑπερβαλοίμεθ᾽ ἂν τοὺς πολεμίους X. Cyr.2.1.8; οὐδ᾽ ἂν ἡ πόλις ἄρα (ὅπερ ἄρτι ἐλέγομεν )ὅλη τοιοῦτον ποιῇ, οὐκ ἐπαινέσῃ Pl.R.426b, cf. Smp.204a: sts. a confirmative Particle accompanies the first οὐ or οὐδέ, and the neg. is repeated with emphasis, οὐδὲ μὲν οὐδέ μ᾽ ἔασκες Il.19.295; οὐδὲ γὰρ οὐδὲ Δρύαντος υἱὸς . . δὴν ἧν 6.130, v. οὐδέ C. 11; οὐ μέντοι οὐδὲ αὖ ὡς σύ μοι δοκεῖς οἴεσθαι Pl.Prt.332a: so also in Trag. and Att. without any such Particle, οὐ σμικρός, οὔχ, ἁγὼν ὅδε not small, no, is this struggle, S.OC587; θεοῖς τέθνηκεν οὗτος, οὐ κείνοισιν, οὔ Id.Aj.970, cf.Ar.Ra.28, 1308, X.Smp. 2.4, Pl.R.390c. when the compd. neg. precedes and the simple neg. follows with the Verb, the opposing negs. produce an emphatic positive, οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων ἀδικῶν τίσιν οὐκ ἀποτείσει Orac. ap. Hdt.5.56; γλώσσης κρυφαῖον οὐδὲν οὐ διέρχεται S.Fr.935 (but prob. f.l.); οὐδεὶς οὐκ ἔπασχέ τι X.Smp.1.9. similarly each of two simple negs. may retain its negating force, ὥσπερ οὐ διὰ πρᾳότητα καὶ ἀσχολίαν τὴν ὑμετέραν οὐ δεδωκὼς ὑμῖν δίκην Lys.6.34; ἐγὼ δ᾽ οὐκ οἶμαι . . οὐ δεῖν ὑμᾶς ἀμύνεσθαι Id.13.52 (similarly with μή, D.19.77): sts. a combination of a μέν-clause with a δέ-clause containing οὐ is negatived as a whole by a preceding οὐ, e.g. οὐ γὰρ δήπου Κτησιφῶντα μὲν δύναται διώκειν δι᾽ ἐμέ, ἐμὲ δέ, εἴπερ ἐξελέγξειν ἐνόμιζεν, αὐτὸν οὐκ ἂν ἐγράψατο Id.18.13. PLEONASM OF οὐ: after Verbs of denying, doubting, and disputing, folld. by ὡς or ὅτι with a finite Verb, οὐ is inserted to show the neg. character of the statement, where in Engl. the neg. is not required, ὡς μὲν οὐκ ἀληθῆ ταῦτ᾽ ἐστὶν οὐκ ἔχετ᾽ ἀντιλέγειν D.8.31, cf. Th.1.77, X.HG2.3.16, Smp.2.12, Isoc.5.57, etc.; οὐδεὶς ἂν τολμήσειεν ἀντειπεῖν ὡς οὐ τὴν μὲν ἐμπειρίαν μᾶλλον τῶν ἄλλων ἔχομεν Id.6.48, cf. And.4.34, D.16.4, etc.; οὐκ ἂν ἀρνηθεῖεν ἔνιοι ὡς οὐκ εἰσὶ τοιοῦτοι Id.9.54; ἀρνεῖσθαι ὅτι οὐ παρῆν X.Ath.2.17; οὐδ᾽ αὐτὸς ὁ Λάμπις ἔξαρνος ἐγένετο ὡς οὐκ εἴη εἰρηκὼς κτλ. D.34.49; ἀμφισβητεῖν ὡς οὐχὶ . . δοτέον δίκην Pl.Euthphr.8c, cf. R.476d, Prm.135a; ἀπιστεῖν ὅτι οὐ . . Id.Men.89d; ἀνέλπιστον καταστῆσαί τισιν ὡς οὐκ ἔσται μεταγνῶναι Th. 3.46: οὐ is sts. thus used in the second member of a negative comparative sentence, ἥκει ὁ Πέρσης οὐδέν τι μᾶλλον ἐπ᾽ ἡμέας ἢ οὐ καὶ ἐπ᾽ ὑμέας Hdt.4.118, cf. 5.94, 7.16.γ´, Th.2.62,3.36: after πλήν, X.Lac. 15.6, D.18.45. OMISSION OF οὐ: οὐ is sts. omitted, esp. by Poets, when it may be supplied from the next clause, γῆ δ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ἀὴρ οὐδ᾽ οὐρανὸς ἦν Ar.Av.694; σιδήρῳ οὐδ᾽ ἀργύρῳ χρέωνται οὐδέν Hdt.1.215; ῥοδιακὴ οὖς οὐδὲ πυθμένα οὐκ ἔχουσα Inscr.Délos 313a84 (iii B. C.). in Poetry, if ἤ stands before οὐ, the two sounds coalesce into one syllable, as in ἦ οὐχ Il.5.349, cf. Od.1.298; so, in Att., μὴ οὐ S. OT283, etc., and ἐγὼ οὔτε ib.332, ἐγὼ οὐ Ar.Eq.340.—This synizesis is general in Ep., universal in Att. FORM. οὐ is used before consonants (including the digamma, e.g. before ἕθεν, οἱ, e(, Il.1.114, 2.392, 24.214, but not before ὅς Possess., οὐχ ᾧ πατρί Od.13.265, cf. οὐκ ἐπέεσσι Il.15.162, etc.); οὐκ before vowels with spir. lenis, οὐχ before vowels with spir. asper; in our text of Hdt. οὐκ is used before all vowels (prob. because Hdt. had no spir. asper): the Ep. form οὐκί [ῐ] is used by Hom. mostly at the end of a clause and at the close of the verse, ὅς τ᾽ αἴτιος ὅς τε καὶ οὐκί Il.15.137; ἠὲ καὶ οὐκί 2.238,300,al.; but in the middle of a verse, 20.255; οὐχί [ῐ] is found twice in Hom., Il.15.716, 16.762, and is common in Trag., where it is freq. employed like οὔ emphatic (supr. B), τί δ᾽ οὐχί ; A.Ag.273,Fr.310; πῶς δ᾽ οὐχί ; Id.Supp.918, Ar.Pax 1027; ἐμὸς μὲν οὐχί E.IA859: also in Prose, Th.1.120,al., 1 Ep.Cor. 5.12, etc.: the diphthong is genuine and always written ου (ουκ, ουδε, etc.) in early Inscrr., IG12.10.22, etc.; in iv B.C. rarely written οκ, ib. 22.1635.112,116,121; οὐ abbreviated ο, Suid.s.v. Φιλοξένου γραμμάτιον. ACCENTUATION. οὐ is oxytone acc. to Hdn.Gr.1.494 (text doubtfulin 504): Arist.SE166b6, referring to Il.23.328 τὸ μὲν ου (i.e. οὐ = οὒ) καταπύθεται ὄμβρῳ, says λύουσι . . τῇ προσῳδίᾳ λέγοντες τὸ ου ὀξύτερον (i.e. οὗ), cf. 178b3. In codd. the word is written oxytone when folld. by a pause (v. supr. B), and is usu. written without any accent in other cases. οὐ in connexion with other Particles will be found in alphabetical order, οὐ γάρ, οὐ μή, etc.—The corresponding forms of μή should be compared.

ou
οὐοὐ γὰρ ἀλλά, an ellipt. phrase, used in Att. to express an indignant or impassioned affirmative, οὐ γὰρ ἀλλ᾽ ὑπερβάλλει τάδε this is indeed too much! E.Ba.785; μὴ σκῶπτέ μ᾽, ὦδέλφ᾽, οὐ γὰρ ἀλλ᾽ ἔχω κακῶς I really am unwell! Ar.Ra.58, cf.Ec.386: also to negate by substituting a still stronger affirmative, ἆρ᾽ οὐ παρεῖναι τὰς γυναῖκας δῆτ᾽ ἐχρῆν; Answ. οὐ γάρ, μὰ Δί᾽, ἀλλὰ πετομένας ἥκειν πάλαι more than that, they ought to have come flying long ago, Id.Lys.55: = καὶ γάρ, Id.Nu.232, Ra.192,498, Eq.1205, E.IT1005, Supp.570, Call.Iamb.1.92; οὐ γάρ μοὐστὶν ἀλλ᾽ ἀκουστέα Ar.Ra.1180.

οὐοὐ μά, οὐ μὰ γάρ, v. μά. οὐ μάν, assuredly not, prop. Dor., Aeol., etc. for Ion.-Att. οὐ μήν, also used in Hom., who has οὐ μὰν οὐδέ, v. οὐδέ C. II, οὐ μήν.

ou
οὐοὐ μὲν οὖν or οὐμενοῦν, on the contrary . . not . . , introducing a neg. statement in contradiction or correction of a preceding statement or suggestion, Ar.Pl.870, Ra.556, 1188 οὐδενὸς μὲν οὖν ἄξιον Pl.Euthd. 305a; ἐγώ σοι οὐκ ἂν δυναίμην ἀντιλέγειν; Answ. οὐ μὲν οὖν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ δύνασαι ἀντιλέγειν nay it is not me, but rather truth, that you cannot gainsay, Id.Smp.201c, cf. D.18.140
so οὐμενοῦν . . γε, Paus.1.20.1; v. μέν B. 11.2.

ou
οὐοὐ μή, in independent sentences, is used either in Denial or in Prohibition: in Denial, with subj., chiefly of aor., οὔ τι μὴ ληφθῶ δόλῳ A.Th.38, cf. 199, 282, Ch.895; οὔ τοί ς᾽ Ἀχαιῶν . . μή τις ὑβρίσῃ S.Aj.560, cf.

An.2.2.12, Hier.11.15; οὐ μὴ οἷός τ᾽ ᾖς Pl.R.341b; οὐ γὰρ μὴ δυνατὸς ὦ Id.Phlb.48d: in S.OC1023, for οὐ μή ποτε . . φυγόντες . . ἐπεύχωνται θεοῖς, two Mss. give ἐπεύξωνται, and this has been adopted by most edd.; and in Is.8.24, for οὐ μὴ εἰσίῃς Bekk. restd. οὐ μὴ εἴσει εἰς . .
Note: οὐ μή with subj. prob. arose from the ellipsis of a Verb or phrase expressing fear or apprehension; such words are sts. expressed, οὐ γὰρ ἦν δεινὸν . . μὴ ἁλῷ κοτε Hdt.1.84, cf. 7.235, Ar.Ec. 650, X.Mem.2.1.25, Pl.Ap.28b, Phd.84b, Grg.520d, R.465b.—Sts. there is no idea of fear, as in S.Ph.103, E.IT18; the constr. is freely used after ὅτι, Th.5.69, X.HG4.2.3, Pl.R.499b; after ὡς, since, Ar. Av.461; after ὥστε, Pl.Phdr.227d. with fut. ind., οὔ σοι μὴ μεθέψομαί ποτε S.El.1052, cf. OC176(lyr.); οὐ μή ς᾽ ἐγὼ περιόψομαι Ar. Ra.508; οὐ μὴ δέξονται (v.l. δέξωνται) X.Cyr.3.2.8: the reading in Id.HG1.6.32 is doubtful: in orat. obliq. the opt. is used, ἐθέσπισεν ὡς οὐ μή ποτε πέρσοιεν S.Ph.611: or inf., εἶπεν . . οὐ μή ποτε . . εὖ πράξειν πόλιν E.Ph.1590. in Prohibition, οὐ μή is used interrogatively with fut. ind. (chiefly of the 2 pers.) so as to express a strong prohibition, οὐ μὴ ᾽ξεγερεῖς τὸν ὕπνῳ κάτοχον; = μὴ ἐξέγειρε, S.Tr.978 (anap.); οὐ μὴ μῦθον ἐς πολλοὺς ἐρεῖς ; E.Supp.1066, cf.Andr.757, El.982, Hipp. 213 (anap.); οὐ μὴ πρόσει τούτοισιν ἐσκοροδισμένοις ; Ar.Ach.166, cf. Nu.367, V.397: when the Mss. give an aor. subj. in such phrases (as οὐ μὴ σκώψῃς μηδὲ ποιήσῃς Id.Nu.296) it has generally been changed by edd. into fut. ind.—The prohibition is continued by καί or by μηδέ, οὐ μὴ᾽ ξεγερεῖς . . κἀκκινήσεις ; S.Tr.978 (anap.); οὐ μὴ προσοίσεις χεῖρα μηδ᾽ ἅψῃ πέπλων ; E.Hipp.606, cf.

Th.250, οὐ σῖγα μηδὲν τῶνδ᾽ ἐρεῖς κατὰ πτόλιν; seems to mean keep silent and say nothing . . , σῖγα being short for σιγήσει and καὶ being omitted: similarly, οὐ σῖγ᾽ ἀνέξει, μηδὲ δειλίαν ἀρῇ; submit silently and do not play the coward, S.Aj.75, cf. Tr. 1183, OT637, E.Hipp.498, Hel.437, Pl.Smp.175a.

(who prefer οὔτις) only in neut. nom. and acc. οὐδέν, exc. in the phrase τὸ ὃν μένος οὐδενὶ εἴκων Il.22.459, al.; οὐδείς is found in B.Fr.28; but all genders and cases are common in all other writers, Hdt.1.32,33, etc.: rare in pl., no set of persons or things, And.1.23 (dub. cj.), X.Lac.3.1; πρὸς οὐδένας τῶν Ἑλλήνων D.18.23 (v.l.), cf. 19.31,66,312, 24.214, 27.7; οὐδένων εἰσὶ βελτίους, i.e. οὔ τινων ἄλλων, Id.2.17 (cf. οὐδενὸς βελτίους Pl.Prt.324d): dat. pl. οὐδέσιν Paus.3.24.3; for another sense of the pl., v. infr. 11.3.—In Ion. the pl. is usu. οὐδαμοί. οὐ. ὅστις οὐ every one, Hdt.3.72, etc.; οὐδὲν ὅ τι οὐ every, Id.5.97; this came to be regarded as one word, so that οὐδείς passed into the same case as ὅστις, οὐδένα ὅντινα οὐ κατέκλασε Pl.Phd.117d; οὐδενὸς ὅτου οὐ πάντων ἂν . . πατὴρ εἴην Id.Prt. 317c, cf. 323b; οὐδενὶ ὅτῳ οὐκ ἀποκρινόμενος Id.Men.70c; so οὐ. ὃς οὐχὶ . . ὀνειδιεῖ S.OT373; οὐδὲν γὰρ . . οὔτ᾽ αἰσχρὸν οὔτ᾽ ἄτιμόν ἐσθ᾽, ὁποῖον οὐ . . οὐκ ὄπωπ᾽ ἐγώ Id.Ant.4. later οὐδὲν ὅ τι without οὐ, = nothing, οὐδὲν ὅ τι παρήσω Agath.Praef.p.137 D., al. ὅστις οὐδείς not one, ἐτεθνήκεσαν δὲ αὐτῶν μὲν ἀμφὶ τοὺς τετρακοσίους, Ρωμαίων δὲ ὅστις οὐδείς Id.5.20. naught, good for naught, ὦ νῦν μὲν οὐ. αὔριον δ᾽ ὑπέρμεγας Ar.Eq.158, cf.

I. οὐδὲν ἄλλο ἤ, v. ἄλλος III. 2. REMARKS: the more emphatic and literal sense, not even one, i.e. none whatever, belongs to the full form, οὐδὲ εἷς, οὐδὲ μία, οὐδὲ ἕν, which is never elided, even in Com. (v. Ar. Ra.927, Lys.1045 (lyr.), Pl.138, 1115), but freq. has a Particle inserted between, cf. οὐδέ B.—Zen. (in EM639.17) and others wrongly assume οὐδείς as a compd. not of οὐδέ and εἷς, but of οὐ and δείς (q. v.). (Later οὐθείς, q. v.)
