Strong's Lexicon oude: neither, nor, not even Original Word: οὐδέ Part of Speech: Conjunction,Negative Transliteration: oude Pronunciation: oo-deh' Phonetic Spelling: (oo-deh') Definition: neither, nor, not even Meaning: neither, nor, not even, and not. Word Origin: A combination of οὐ (ou, meaning "not") and δέ (de, meaning "but" or "and"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "οὐδέ," similar negations can be found in Hebrew conjunctions like "וְלֹא" (ve-lo, meaning "and not" or "nor"). Usage: The Greek conjunction "οὐδέ" is used to connect clauses or phrases, typically to express a negative addition. It is often translated as "neither" or "nor" in English. It serves to emphasize the negation of both elements it connects, indicating that neither of the connected elements is true or applicable. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire, conjunctions like "οὐδέ" were essential for constructing complex sentences and conveying nuanced meanings. The use of "οὐδέ" in the New Testament reflects the Jewish and Greco-Roman rhetorical styles of the time, where negation was often used to clarify or strengthen a point. HELPS Word-studies 3761 oudé (from 3756 /ou, "not" and 1161 /dé, "moreover") – properly, moreover not, neither indeed, not even, nor even. 3761 /oudé ("neither indeed," "nor indeed") introduces a statement that is negated factually and deductively (it occurs 137 times in the NT). That is, the negation rules out (invalidates) the statement that precedes it, and what naturally extends from it. This is analogous to the following: Because 100 is not enough, then neither are 90, 80, or 70 because they are all included in 100. Thus if "A" (100 in the previous example) is invalid, so is what necessarily follows (statement "B" – 90, 80, 70). [Regardless of how 3761 (oudé) is translated, it means: If "A" (the preceding statement) isn't true (valid) – then "B" (which extends from it) is also not valid. As in the previous example: If 100 is not enough (valid), then automatically neither are 90, 80, 70, etc.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from ou, and de Definition and not, neither NASB Translation all (2), cannot* (3), either (4), even (37), neither (4), no (4), no* (1), nor (64), nothing* (1), or (20), then (1). Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3761: οὐδέ 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 Latinque; 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.)
