1 ob [1]
1. ob, I) = wenn: si. – ob etwa, si forte: ob auch, etiamsi. – als ob, gleich als ob, tamquam, tamquam si, velut, quasi mit folg. Konj. (s. »gleichsam« den Untersch.). – Nach simulo (ich stelle mich, ich tue, als ob) folgt gew. der Akk. mit Infin. (selten quasi), nach videor (ich sehe od. es sieht aus, als oh ich. es kommt mir vor) aber immer der Nominat. m. Infin., z.B. sie tun, als ob sie alles wüßten, omnia se scire simulant: es war mir, als ob ich eben die Stimme meines Bruders hörte, audire vocem visus sum modo fratris. – nicht als ob, non quo, z.B. nicht als ob jemand etwas anderes geg laubt hätte, non quo quisquam aliter putasset.
II) als Fragepartikel, a) in der einfachen Frage: ne (dem Worte des Satzes angehängt, auf das der Hauptton der Frage fällt). – num (ob wohl). – ich frage, ob du ihm Geld gegeben hast, quaero dederisne ei pecuniam od. numei pecuniam dederis. ob etwas, numquid (z.B. quaesivit ex me, numq uld vellem) ob jemand, ecq uis (z.B. quaesivi ex eo, ecquis esset venturus) – ob etwa, ecquid [1815] (z.B. ecquid venturi sitis, fac sciam). – Nach den Ausdrücken dubito (ich bedenke mich), dubium est (es ist zweifelhaft), incertum est (es ist ungewiß), delibero (ich überlege), haesito (ich bin unschlüssig) u. bes. haud scio od. nescio (ich weiß nicht) wird das deutsche ob nicht durch an wiedergegeben. – b) in Doppelfragen, wie: ob... oder (od. oder ob, utrum... an (od. anne od. ne). – num... an. – ne (enklitisch)... an. – es ist ein großer Unterschied, ob die Ehre Abbruch leidet, oder ob das Heil hintangesetzt wird, multum interest, utrum laus imminuatur, an salus deseratur: man weiß nicht, ob die Rede die Gegenstände oder die Gedanken die Worte mehr schmücken, nescis, num res oratione an verba sententiis illustrentur: es fragt sich, ob es eine Welt gibt oder mehrere Welten, quaeritur, unusne mundus sit, an plures: soll ich schweigen, oder soll ich es lautsagen? utrum taceamne, an praedicem? – Zuw. wird das »ob« der ersten Frage im Latein. gar nicht gesetzt, z.B. es entsteht die Frage, ob es wenig oder viel sei, interrogatur, pauca sint, anne multa. – Auch können zwei einzelne, einander entgegengesetzte Begriffe sprichwortsweise ohne Fragepartikeln zusammengestellt werden, z.B. es ist schwer zu wissen, ob er will oder nicht, velit nolit, scire difficile est: ob es nütze oder schade, fragen sie nicht, prosit obsit, nihil vident. – Wenn in »oder« nach einer vorhergehenden Frage keine neue der vorigen entgegengesetzte Frage liegt, sondern wenn es vielmehr nur statt des Verbindungswortes »und« steht und das vorher gebrauchte Wort verbessert oder ändert, so wird es nicht durch ein Fragewort, sondern durch aut übersetzt, z.B. sie fragten, ob dieser oder jener die Verteidigung übernehmen wolle, quaesierunt, num hic aut ille defensurus esset. – ob... oder nicht, utrum (num od. ne)... necne od. annon (wobei zu bemerken ist, daß necne gewöhnlich in indirekten Fragen, auch in der Regel ohne Verbum steht, hingegen annon mehr in direkten, selten in indirekten, mit u. ohne Verbum, z.B. es fragt sich, ob es Götter gibt oder nicht. quaeritur, sintne di, necne sint; od. di utrum sint, necne, quaeritur; od. auch di necne sint quaeritur). – utrum od. ne... an mit einem verneinenden Verbum (z.B. utrum sciant pingere an nesciant [oder nicht]: u. didicerintne palaestram an nesciant, oder nicht).

1.ăn, conj. [etym. very obscure; v. the various views adduced in Hand, I. p. 296, with which he seems dissatisfied; if it is connected with the Sanscr. anjas, = Germ. ander, = Engl. other, we may comp. the Engl. other and or with the Germ. oder, = or]. It introduces the second part of a disjunctive interrogation, or a phrase implying doubt, and thus unites in itself the signif. of aut and num or -ne, or, or whether (hence the clause with an is entirely parallel with that introduced by num, utrum, -ne, etc., while aut forms only a subdivision in the single disjunctive clause; utrum... aut—an... aut, whether... or, etc.; cf.

Fin. 1, 8, 28.—It sometimes anticipates an answer to something going before: At vero si ad vitem sensus accesserit, ut appetitum quendam habeat et per se ipsa moveatur, quid facturam putas? An ea, quae per vinitorem antea consequebatur, per se ipsa curabit? shall we not say that, must we not think that etc., Cic. Fin. 5, 14, 38, ubi v.

Vulg. Joan. 7, 17; ib. Eccl. 2, 19 al.—An sometimes denotes uncertainty by itself, without a verb of doubting (dubito, dubium or incertum est, etc., vet in such cases the editors are divided between an and aut; cf. Mos. and Orell. ad Cic. Rep. 1, 12): verene hoc memoriae proditum est [p. 115] regem istum Numam Pythagorae ipsius discipulum, an certe Pythagoreum fuisse? Cic. Rep. 2, 15, where B. and K. read aut certe: Cn. Octavius est an Cn. Cornelius quidam tuus familiaris, summo genere natus, terrae filius;C.is etc.,

Simonides or some other person, id. Fin. 2, 32, 104; id. Fam. 7, 9, 3; id. Att. 1, 3, 2; 2, 7, 3; v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 2, 32, 104.—It often stands for sive (so esp. in and after the Aug. per.):D.quod sit an non, nihil commovet analogiam,
whether this be so or not, Varr. L. L. 9, § 105 Müll.; Att. ap. Prisc. p. 677 P.; Ov. R. Am. 797:saucius an sanus, numquid tua signa reliqui,
id. F. 4, 7:Illa mihi referet, si nostri mutua curast, An minor, an toto pectore deciderim,
Tib. 3, 1, 20; Tac. A. 11, 26:sive nullam opem praevidebat inermis atque exul, seu taedio ambiguae spei an amore conjugis et liberorum,
id. ib. 14, 59.—The first disjunctive clause is freq. to be supplied from the gen. idea or an may stand for utrum—necne (cf. supra, I. D.):E.qui scis, an, quae jubeam, sine vi faciat? (vine coactus is to be supplied),
how knowest thou whether or not he will do it without compulsion? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 20:An dolo malo factum sit, ambigitur,
Cic. Tull. 23:quaesivi an misisset (periplasmata),
id. Verr. 4, 27:Vide an facile fieri tu potueris, cum etc.,
id. Fragm. B. 13, 2, 1:praebete aurem et videte an mentiar,
Vulg. Job, 6, 28: de L. Bruto fortasse dubitaverim an propter infinitum odium tyranni effrenatius in Aruntem invaserit, I might doubt whether or not, etc., Cic. Tusc. 4, 22, 50; id. Verr. 3, 76:Quis scit an adiciant hodiernae crastina summae Tempora di superi?
Hor. C. 4, 7, 17; Plin. Ep. 6, 21, 3; Quint. 2, 17, 38:Sine videamus an veniat Elias,
Vulg. Matt. 27, 49:tria sine dubio rursus spectanda sunt, an sit, quid sit, quale sit,
Quint. 5, 10, 53:dubium an quaesitā morte,
Tac. A. 1, 5; 6, 50; 4, 74:Multitudo an vindicatura Bessum fuerit, incertum est,
Curt. 7, 5:diu Lacedaemonii, an eum summae rei praeponerent, deliberaverunt,
Just. 6, 2, 4 et saep.—Since in such distrib. sentences expressive of doubt, the opinion of the speaker or the probability usually inclines to the second, i. e. to the clause beginning with an, the expressions haud scio an, nescio an, dubito an (the latter through all pers. and tenses), incline to an affirmative signification, I almost know, I am inclined to think, I almost think, I might say, I might assert that, etc., for perhaps, probably (hence the opinion is incorrect that an, in this situation, stands for an non; for by an non a negation of the objective clause is expressed, e. g. nescio an non beatus sit, I am almost of the opinion that he is not happy, v. infra, and cf. Beier ad Cic. Off. 1, Exc. XI. p. 335 sq.; Cic. uses haud scio an eleven times in his Orations;F.nescio an, four times): atque haud scio an, quae dixit sint vera omnia,
Ter. And. 3, 2, 45:crudele gladiatorum spectaculum et inhumanum non nullis videri solet: et haud scio an ita sit, ut nunc fit,
Cic. Tusc. 2, 17, 41; id. Fl. 26:testem non mediocrem, sed haud scio an gravissimum,
perhaps, id. Off. 3, 29:constantiam dico? nescio an melius patientiam possim dicere,
id. Lig. 9; id. Fam. 9, 19:ingens eo die res, ac nescio an maxima illo bello gesta sit,
Liv. 23, 16; Quint. 12, 11, 7 al.:si per se virtus sine fortunā ponderanda sit, dubito an Thrasybulum primum omuium ponam,
I am not certain whether I should not prefer Thrasybulus to all others, Nep. Thras. 1 Dähne:dicitur acinace stricto Darius dubitāsse an fugae dedecus honestā morte vitaret,
i. e. was almost resolved upon, Curt. 4, 5, 30:ego dubito an id improprium potius appellem,
Quint. 1, 5, 46; Gell. 1, 3 al.—Hence, a neg. objective clause must contain in this connection the words non, nemo, nullus, nihil, numquam, nusquam, etc.:dubitet an turpe non sit,
he is inclined to believe that it is not bad, Cic. Off. 3, 12, 50:haud scio an ne opus quidem sit, nihil umquam deesse amicis,
id. Am. 14, 51:eloquentiā quidem nescio an habuisset parem neminem,
id. Brut. 33: quod cum omnibus est faciendum tum haud scio an nemini potius quam tibi, to no one perhaps more, id. Off. 3, 2, 6:meā sententiā haud scio an nulla beatior esse possit,
id. Sen. 16; id. Leg. 1, 21:non saepe atque haud scio an numquam,
id. Or. 2, 7 al. —Sometimes the distributive clause beginning with an designates directly the opposite, the more improbable, the negative; in which case nescio an, haud scio an, etc., like the Engl. I know not whether, signify I think that not, I believe that not, etc.; hence, in the object. clause, aliquis, quisquam, ullus, etc., must stand instead of nemo, nullus, etc. (so for the most part only after Cic.): an profecturus sim, nescio, I know not (i. e. I doubt, I am not confident) whether I shall effect any thing, Sen. Ep. 25:2.opus nescio an superabile, magnum certe tractemus,
id. Q. N. 3, praef. 4; Caecil. ap. Cic. Fam. 6, 7, 6: haud scio an vivere nobis liceret, I know not whether we, etc., Cic. Har. Resp. 11, 22: doleo enim maximam feminam eripi oculis civitatis, nescio an aliquid simile visuris, for I know not whether they will ever see any thing of this kind, Plin. Ep. 7, 19; Val. Max. 5, 2, 9:nescio an ullum tempus jucundius exegerim,
I do not know whether I have ever passed time more pleasantly, id. 3, 1:namque huic uni contigit, quod nescio an ulli,
Nep. Timol. 1, 1; Sen. Contr. 3 praef.; Quint. 9, 4, 1:nostri quoque soloecum, soloecismum nescio an umquam dixerint,
Gell. 5, 20 al. Cf. upon this word Hand, Turs. I. pp. 296-361, and Beier, Exc. ad Cic. Am. pp. 202-238.an-, v. ambi.3.- ăn. This word appears in forsan, forsitan, and fortasse an (Att. Trag. Rel. p. 151 Rib.) or fortassan, seeming to enhance the idea of uncertainty and doubt belonging to fors, etc., and is regarded by some as the Greek conditional particle an, and indeed one of these compounds, forsitan, sometimes in the Vulgate, translates an; as, Joan. 4, 10; 5, 46; 8, 19; and in 3, Joan. 9, it still represents the various reading, an. -
3 an
an, Coni. (vgl. griech. ἄν), auch mit ne verstärkt in anne, leitet das »zweite« Glied eines disjunktiven Satzes ein, in dem einer sein eigenes unentschiedenes Urteil »zweifelnd« oder »fragend« so ausspricht, daß er von einem andern die Entscheidung erwartet od. erbittet, wie unser oder, oder ob, I) in disjunktiven Zweifelsätzen, nach allen Verben, die Zweifel, Ungewißheit u. dgl. ausdrücken, wie dubito, dubium od. incertum est, nescio etc., refert, interest, auch video, scio, doceo, disco usw., u. zwar: 1) bei vollständiger Disjunktion: a) einem mit utrum, utrumne, auch ne, od. absol. vorangestellten Gliede als Gegensatz folgend, desinite dubitare, utrum... an, Cic.: utrum... an..., incertus sum, Ter.: incertum est, ne (enklit.)... an... anne, Verg.: ut nescias, utrum... an..., Cic.: quid refert, utrum... an..., Varr. – honestumne factu sit an turpe, dubitant, Cic.: refert etiam qui audiant, senatus an populus an iudices, Cic. – dah. b) in zusammengezogener Rede, ohne ein Verbum des Zweifels u. dgl., gleichs. fragend, oder vielleicht, oder etwa auch, ohne Partikel beim ersten Glied u. auch ohne Einfluß auf das Verbum (s. Piderit Cic. Brut. 89. Heräus Tac. hist. 1, 7, 9), Cn. Octavius est, an Cn. Cornelius quidam, Cic.: non plus duobus an tribus mensibus, Cic.: u. so ter an quater, Apul. apol. 43: septem an octo, Plin. ep. 6, 13, 5. – u. so c) wie sive, mit diesem sogar wechselnd, wo man, seiner Sache nicht gewiß, auch nicht zu entscheiden wagt, wenigstens es für gleichgültig hält, oder, quod sit, an non, nihil analogiam commovet, Varr. LL.: sive fatali vecordiā, an... ratus, Tac.: iure an iniuriā, Liv. 2, 54, 7.
Häufig 2) elliptisch, so daß durch den auf das zweite Glied gelegten Nachdruck das erste, leicht zu ergänzende gleichsam übersehen u. ausgelassen ist, ob nicht; so zunächst a) in der Redensart dubito an (durch alle Personen u.

an conj. I. Prop., in a disjunctive question introducing the latter clause; in Engl. represented by or and the interrog. form of the clause.—After utrum, in direct questions: utrum has corporis an Pythagorae tibi malis viris ingeni dari?: utrum superbiam prius commemorem an crudelitatem?: utrumne iussi persequemur otium, an, etc., H.—In indirect questions, whether... or: intellegere utrum pudor an timor valeret, Cs.: quaero, utrum clemens an inhumanissimus videatur: agitamus utrumne... an, etc., H.—After enclitic -ne in direct questions: vosne Domitium an vos Domitius deseruit? Cs.: uter... isne, qui... an ille, qui? etc.—Annon (an non) in the latter clause simply negatives the former: hocine agis an non? T.—Indirect, whether... or: agitur liberine vivamus an mortem obeamus: quaeso sitne aliqua actio an nulla.—Rarely annon: Roga velitne an non uxorem, T. — After a clause without correl. interrog. particle, in direct questions: ipse percussit an aliis occidendum dedit?: eloquar an sileam? V.—So with -ne pleonast.: obtrectatum esse, Gabinio dicam anne Pompeio, an utrique?—By ellips. of verb, an becomes simply disjunctive between two words: cum Simonides an quis alius polliceretur: cum id constaret, iure an iniuriā eripiendos esse reos, L.—Indirect: vivat an mortuus sit, quis curat?: hoc quaeramus, verum sit an falsum?— With ellips. of verb: neque, recte an perperam (sc. fiat), interpretor, L.; cf. discrimine recte an perperam facti confuso, L.—The former interrog. clause is often implied in a previous affirmation, and the clause with an expects a negative answer: quid enim actum est? an litteris pepercisti? (was it as I have said?), or did you, etc., i. e. you surely did not, etc.: at Pompeii voluntatem a me abalienabat oratio mea. An ille quemquam plus dilexit? or rather: sive vetabat, ‘an hoc inhonestum... necne sit addubites?’ (where an addubites asks a direct question, and hoc... sit an indirect question dependent on it), H.: quas Kalendas Iunias expectasti? an eas, ad quas, etc.?: an Scipio Gracchum interfecit, Catilinam... nos perferemus? or (if what I have said be questioned) while Scipio slew... are we to tolerate Catiline?—After a question, with num, an introduces a new question, correcting or denying the former, or rather: num iniquom postulo? an ne hoc quidem ego adipiscar...? or rather am I not even to get, etc., T.: num Homerum coegit obmutescere senectus? an studiorum agitatio vitae aequalis fuit? or was not rather? etc.—Sometimes the former interrog. clause, to be supplied, expects a negative answer, and the clause with an is an implied affirmation: a rebus gerendis senectus abstrahit? Quibus? an iis, etc.: unde ordiar? an eadem attingam, quae, etc.—So often annon? or is it not so? hem quo fretus sim... annon dixi, etc., T.: annon sensistis triumphatum hodie de vobis esse? or have you not? etc., L. — Ellipt.: cuium pecus? an Meliboei? Meliboeus's, I suppose, V.— II. Meton., without disjunctive force.—With expressions of doubt, ignorance, uncertainty, the former interrog. clause is regularly omitted, the latter with an expressing the belief or opinion of the speaker, I know not but, I incline to think, I suspect, perhaps, probably: hau scio an quae dixit sint vera, T.: res nescio an maxima, L.: dubito an Apronio data sit merces: haud sciam an ne opus sit quidem, etc., possibly it may not be desirable: is mortuus est, nescio an antequam, etc.: Qui scis, an, quae iubeam, sine vi faciat, T.—In indirect questions, whether: quaesivi an misisset: quae in discrimine fuerunt, an ulla post hanc diem essent, L.—With an repeated: animo nunc huc nunc fluctuat illuc, an sese mucrone... Induat... Fluctibus an iaciat, V.: temptare an sit Corpus an illud ebur, O.* * *can it be that (introduces question expecting negative answer/further question); whether; (utrum... an = whether... or); or; either -
