Webster's 1828 Dictionary
How the English word “nor” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
NOR, conjunction
, connective [ne and or.]
- A word that denies ro renders negative the second or subsequent part of a proposition, or a proposition following another negative proposition; correlative to neither or not.“Fight neither with small nor great” 1 Kings 22:31
- nor sometimes begins a sentence, but in this case a negative proposition has preceded it in the foregoing sentence.
- In some cases, usually in poetry, neither is omitted, and the negation which it would express is included in nor
- Sometimes in poetry, nor is used for neither, in the first part of the proposition.
