1 nach
nach, I) Praep.: 1) vom Orte, zur Bezeichnung einer Richtung oder Bewegung nach einem Punkte hin: ad (od. in)... versus, auch (aber in der Regel bl. bei Städtenamen) bl.... versus (zur Angabe der ungefähren Richtung, »nach... wärts«). – in mit Akk. (zur Angabe der geraden Richtung oder des Gelangens zu einem Ziele, »nach... hin«). – ad (zur Angabe der unmittelbaren Nähe, »nach... zu«, »unmittelbar vor oder bei«), z.B. nach Mittag zu, ad meridiem versus: nach Italien hin od. zu, in Italiam versus: nach der Straße zu liegen, in viam versum esse: nach Rom (ganz in die Nähe von Rom) kommen, ad Romam venire. – Die Namen der Städte, Dörfer u. kleinern (selten der größern) Inseln, sowie das Subst. domus stehen auf die Frage wohin? im bloßen Akk., z.B. nach Rom kommen, Romam venire (in die Stadt selbst): nach Hause zurückkehren, domum redire: nach Cypern marschieren, Cyprum tendere. – Die Präpos. »nach« wird nach den Substst., die eine Begierde, ein Verlangen etc. ausdrücken, gew. durch den bl. Genet., nach den Verben »hauen, schlagen-trachten, sehen, forschen nach etwas« meist durch einen bloßen Kasus (gew. den Akk.) ausgedrückt.
2) zur Angabe der Folge, im Ggstz zu vor, a) dem Raume u. dem Range nach: secundum (zunächst, unmittelbar nach, in beiden Beziehungen, z.B. sec. alqm ire). – Gew. wird »nach« durch secundus. proximus ab alqo od. proximus alci (dem. Raume u. dem Range nach), d. i. »der nächste, erste nach jmd.«, ausgedrückt. – nach jmd. kommen, folgen, secundum alqm esse. secundum ab alqo esse (hinter ihm stehen, der zweite nach ihm sein, auch dem Range nach); alqm sequi (jmdm. folgen, nach ihm gehen). – b) der Zeitnach: post (im allg.). – secundum (unmittelbar nach, gleich nach). – ex (unmittelbar von... aus). – ab (von... an oder aus, als Anfangspunkt). – nach Alexander, post Alexandrum: nach drei Jahren, post tres annos: nach dem Prokonsulat des Brutus, post Brutum proconsulem: nach dem Konsulat verwaltete er Hispanien, ex consulatu obtinuit Hispaniam: gleich nach den Komitien, secundum comitia: sogleich nach dem Schlafe baden sich die Germanen, Germani statim e somno lavantur: gleich nach dem Treffen kehrte er zurück, confestim a proelio rediit: Homer lebte nicht lange nach ihnen, Homerus recens ab illorum aetate fuit: (gleich) nach jener Versammlung wurden Gesandte geschickt, ab illa contione legati missi sunt. – Bei post drücken die Lateiner gew. das Substantiv, das eine Handlung bezeichnet, durch ein Partizip aus, z.B. sechs Jahre nach Eroberung der Stadt Veji, sexennio post Veios captos: nach Erbauung der Stadt, post urbem conditam (seit die Stadt steht; hingegen ab urbe condita = von der Erb. der Stadt an, [1734] wenn die Jahrzahl angegeben werden soll). – Häufig müssen auch die Ablativi absoluti angewendet werden, bes. wenn »nach« zugl. die Ursache (= »infolge«) bezeichnet, z.B. nach einem Jahre, anno interiecto: nach dem Tode des Königs, rege mortuo (infolge des Todes des Königs; dagegen post regem mortuum, seitdem der König tot ist): Hannibal kam nach Übersteigung der Alpen in Italien an, Hannibal in Italiam pervenit Alpibus superatis.
3) zur Angabe der Gemäßheit: secundum (zufolge, in Übereinstimmung mit). – ex, auch de (gemäß u. infolge). – pro (im Verhältnis zu). – ad (nach einer gewissen Norm u. Regel). – nach der Natur leben, secundum naturam vivere: nach der Wahrheit etwas beurteilen, ex veritate alqd aestimare; nach meiner Meinung, ex od. de mea sententia: nach der Sitte, de more: nach Kräften, pro viribus: nach dem Lauf des Mondes (etw. bestimmen etc.), ad cursum lunae. – Bei unbestimmten Verhältnisangaben gebrauchen die Lateiner statt pro die Wendungmit dem Relativ od. mit ut est, s. »bei no.II, A, 4, a« S. 380 unten.
4) = was anlangt, in Ansehung: ad (in Hinsicht). – ab (von seiten). – Häufig steht auch der bloße Ablat. – dem Äußern nach, ad speciem; specie: der Gelehrsamkeit nach, glaube ich, fehlt ihm nichts, a doctrina nihil, opinor, ei deest.
II. Adv. elliptisch, im Ausruf = folge (folgt) nach, z.B. dem Feldherrn nach! sequere od. (an mehrere) sequimini imperatorem! – nach und nach, paulatim (allmählich, s. das. die Synon. u. Beispp.); die (mit jedem Tage, mit ver Zeit). – nach wie vor, d. i. nachher wie vorher, s. »nachher« a. E.
