   Not; never. [Obs.]
   [1913 Webster]

         He never yet no villany ne said.         --Chaucer.

         negation, and survives in certain compounds, as never
         (= ne ever) and none (= ne one). Other combinations,
         now obsolete, will be found in the Vocabulary, as nad,
         nam, nil. See Negative, 2.
