Headword: *ou) me\n dh/
Adler number: omicron,917

*ou) me\n dh/: a)nti\ tou= o(/mws dh/, h(/kista dh/, a)lla\ ou) dh/.
Notes:
Evidently extracted from somewhere, the headword phrase resists precise translation outside its context. It consists of a denial (ou)) followed by a particle combination where dh/ strengthens an affirmative, adversative or progressive thought indicated by me/n; see Denniston, pp. 391-3.
