  • 46 aut

    aut, conj. [aut, Osc. auti, Umbr. ote, ute, may be a modification of autem, as at of et, the suffix -t being a relic of the demonstrative -tem, which appears in item, and is the same as -dem in quidem, and -dam in quondam, and of which the demonstrative adverbs, tam and tum, are absolute forms; the first part of these words may be compared with the Gr. au (cf. aute and autar), and with the Sanscr. vā = or, with which again may be compared ve and vel; v. Corss. Ausspr. II. p. 595, and also pp. 130, 223, 411], or; and repeated: aut... aut, either... or; so in Sanscr. vā... vā.
    I.
    In gen. it puts in the place of a previous assertion another, objectively and absolutely antithetical to it, while vel indicates that the contrast rests upon subjective opinion or choice; i. e. aut is objective, vel subjective, or aut excludes one term, vel makes the two indifferent.

    Ubi enim potest illa aetas aut calescere vel apricatione melius vel igni, aut vicissim umbris aquisve refrigerari salubrius?

    Nam ejus per unam, ut audio, aut vivam aut moriar sententiam,

    id. Ad. 1, 1, 7 sq.; so four times in Lucr. 4, 935 sq.; five times in Cic. Off. 1, 9, 28; id. N. D. 3, 12, 30; and Prop. 4, 21, 26 sqq.; and six times in Plin. 17, 10, 9, § 58.—
    d.
    Sometimes double disjunctive phrases with aut... aut are placed together:

    Adsentior Crasso, ne aut de C. Laelii soceri mei aut de hujus generi aut arte aut gloriā detraham,

    Cic. de Or. 1, 9, 35:

    res ipsa et rei publicae tempus aut me ipsum, quod nolim, aut alium quempiam aut invitabit aut dehortabitur,

    id. Pis. 39, 94.—
    e.
    Repeated after negatives:

    tecum nihil rei nobis Demipho est,

    Ter. Phorm. 2, 3, 74; Ov. F 2, 308.—
    (τ).
    Nihil esse, to be nothing or nobody, to have no power, to be of no use, Cic. Div. in Caecil. 14, 47; id. Fam. 7, 27, 2; 7, 33, 1; Ter. And. 2, 1, 14:

    accepimus eum nihil hominis esse,

    a worthless fellow, id. Tusc. 3, 32, 77; but de Attio Dionysio nihil puto esse, nothing about him, i. e. no news of him, id. Fam. 12, 30, 5.—

    II.
    nĭhĭlum, i (contr. form nīlum, Lucr. 1, 159; Hor. S. 1, 5, 67), n., nothing:

    aliquid pro nihilo putare,

    id. Div. in Caecil. 7, 24; cf. id. Verr. 2, 2, 16, § 40.—
    (β).
    Nihili, of no value, worthless:

    quem putamus esse non hili, dicimus nihili,

    Varr. L. L. 10, § 81 Müll.; cf.: nihili, qui nec hili quidem est. Paul. ex Fest. p. 175 Müll.:

    id. Men. 5, 5, 49:

    Phaedriae esse nilo minus amicum quam Antiphoni,

    ego isti nihilo sum aliter ac fui,

    Ter. Phorm. 3, 2, 45.—
    B.
    Transf., adverb., for non, not, by no means:

    nihilum metuenda timere,

    Hor. S. 2, 3, 53. —
    III.
    nīl, nothing, no (rare and mostly poet.;

    in Cic. not at all): nil intra est oleam, nil extra est in nuce durum,

    Socrates nec patronum quaesivit nec judicibus supplex fuit, adhibuitque liberam contumaciam,

    Cic. Tusc. 1, 29, 71; id. Cat. 2, 13, 28 fin.:

    qui non temere movendam rem tantam expectandosque ex Hispaniā legatos censerent,

    Liv. 21, 6, 7:

    quae neque dant flammas lenique vapore cremantur,

    Ov. M. 2, 811.—
    VII.
    Que is usually appended to the first word of the phrase, but to a noun rather than to a monosyllabic preposition governing it, unless the preposition is repeated:

    de provinciāque,

    Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 20, § 48:

    per vimque,

    id. Phil. 5, 4, 10; cf.:

    ab iisque,

    id. Tusc. 5, 33, 94:

    sub occasumque solis,

    Caes. B. G. 2, 11.—

    Exceptions are to be found, especially in Liv.: proque ignoto,

    Plaut. Capt. 3, 4, 10:

    exque eo tempore,

    Cic. Off. 2, 23, 80; 1, 34, 122:

    inque eam rem,

    id. Rosc. Am. 39, 114:

    inque eo exercitu,

    deque praedā,

    aque,

    Ov. Am. 2, 14, 30:

    eque,

    Verg. E. 7, 13; Val. Max. 1, 5, 3:

    exque eo,

    Cels. 7, 27:

    perque somnum,

    id. 2, 5.—And where the same preposition is repeated que is regularly joined to it:

    haec de se, deque provinciā,

    Liv. 26, 28, 3; 22, 59, 16; 29, 23, 10; 31, 5, 4;

    38, 35, 7: de matrimonio Agrippinae, deque Neronis adoptione,

    Suet. Claud. 43 init.:

    per senectutem tuam, perque eam, quam, etc.,

    Plaut. As. 1, 1, 3. —

    Where the preposition is dissyllabic it regularly takes the que: interque eos,

    Liv. 2, 20, 8; 5, 49, 7:

    sine scutis sineque ferro,

    Cic. Caecin. 23, 64. —

    It is rarely annexed to the second word of the clause, when the first word is an adverb: tantos tam praecipitisque casus,

    Cic. de Or. 3, 4, 13:

    tanto tam immensoque campo,

    id. ib. 3, 31, 124 al.—In class. Latin que is not appended to hic, sic, nunc, huc, etc. (v. Madv. ad. Cic. Fin. 5, 14, 40):

    hucque et illuc,

    Tac. A. 13, 37; 15, 38: tuncque id. ib. 6, 7 (1);

    14, 15.—Que is often misplaced by the poets, especially by Tibullus and Propertius in the latter part of the pentameter: Messallam terrā dum sequiturque mari,

    Tib. 1, 3, 56:

    ferratam Danaes transiliamque domum,

    Prop. 2, 16, 11.
