Thayer's Greek Lexicon
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] 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 Lat. 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. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived 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 W. il. c, and esp. the quotations there given from Benfey and ee” Klotz.] It differs from μηδέ as οὐ does from μή ἴα. v-ad init.]; after οὐ, where each has its own verb: Mt. v. 15; vi. 28; Mk. iv. 22; Lk. vi.44; Actsii. 27; ix. 9; xvii. 24 sq.; Gal. i. 17; iv. 14; οὐκ οἶδα οὐδὲ ἐπίσταμαι, Mk. xiv. 68 RG Lurg.
