Mane (Îngilîzî)

  1. (literary) not (used alone to negate a verb, now chiefly with only a few particular verbs: see usage notes)
  2. not, no (used before a verb, with a coordinating negative element usually following; see Usage Notes, below)
  3. Used in a subordinate clause before a subjunctive verb (especially when the main verb expresses doubt or fear), to provide extra overtones of doubt or uncertainty (but not negating its verb); the so-called "pleonastic" or "expletive" ne.
