 (k), with the imperfect, , (in  read the infinitive  for , in 27:8  for ). In  is a relative clause governed by = according to things which they have not seen.

2. Two negatives in the same sentence do not neutralize each other (as in nonnulli, non nemo), but make the negation the more emphatic (like οὐκ οὐδείς, οὐκ οὐδαμῶς, nulli—non, nemo non); e.g. (if the text is correct)  (not) come. This especially applies to the compounds formed by the union of or  with , e.g.  (6:11)  (for which in  ), prop. without no inhabitant, i.e. so that no inhabitant is left there. On the other hand, in  the  is causative, because there is no water; as also in  , 6, 16. In  (yet so that man cannot, &c.).

3. The negative sometimes extends its influence from the first to a second negative sentence parallel with it (which may or may not have ) ; e.g. talk not so much arrogancy; let (not) boasting come out of your mouth;, , , 15 f., , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,  (so  in  also affects the parallel clause).

The particles, , serve to introduce restrictive clauses, and , , intensive clauses. It is to be observed that the force of these particles does not necessarily affect the word which immediately follows (as is the case with, ;  , ; even  ;  , ;  ), but very frequently extends to the whole of the following sentence. Thus with, e.g. , , , , , , ; , , , ;  ,  , 44:10; , , , , ;  , .—In  and   is placed before two co-ordinate sentences, although, strictly speaking, it applies only to the second.
