ō | ne: (exclam)

• O, o, the fourteenth letter of the Latin alphabet, corresponding to the Gr. ο and ω. The Latin language possessed both the sound and the sign from the earliest times; whereas the Etruscan language never possessed the o, and the Umbrian seems not to have received it as an alphabetical character till a later period. The oldest monuments of the Latin tongue frequently employ o where the classic language has u. So on the Column. Rostr. MACESTRATOS (acc. plur.), EXFOCIONT, CONSOL, PRIMOS (nom. sing.), CAPTOM; in the epitaphs of the Scipios, HONC OINO, COSENTIONT, DVONORO OPTVMO VIRO (bonorum optumum virum); in the S. C. de Bacch. IN OQVOLTOD al. And even in the later inscrr. and MSS., we sometimes find o for u: POPLICO, POPOLVM, TABOLEIS, in the Tab. Bantina: FACIONDAM DEDERONT, Inscr. Orell. 1585: MONDO, HOC TOMOLO, ib. 4858: fondus, fornacatibus, solitodo, etc., in good MSS. (v. Freund, Cic. Mil. p. 18). And, on the contrary, u for o in the old forms, fruns, funtes, for frons, fontes, v. h. vv.: RVBVSTIS for robustis, in the Cenot. Pisan.; v. Inscr. Orell. 642: NVMENCLATOR, Inscr. Grut. 630, 5: CONSVBRINVS, ib. 1107, 1: SACERDVS, ib. 34, 5: VNV LOCV, ib. 840, 1. O appears in class. Lat. particularly in connection with qu and v: quom, avos. This interchange of o and u seems to have been effected rather by dialectical and local than by organic and historical causes; just as in the modern Italian dialects a preference is shown on the one hand for o and on the other for u, and in one and the same dialect the Latin o has passed over into u and the u into o. —On the commutation of o and e, see the letter E.—We have o for au in Clodius, plodo, plostrum, sodes, etc. (also in polulum for paululum, Cato, R. R. 10, 2).— O inserted in the archaic forms: Patricoles, Hercoles, v. Ritschl ap. Rhein. Mus. 8, p. 475 sq., and 9, p. 480. As an abbreviation, O. stands for omnis and optimus: I. O. M., Jovi Optimo Maximo: O. E. B. Q. C., ossa ejus bene quiescant condita, Inscr. Orell. 4489; cf.: O. I. B. Q., ossa illius bene quiescant, ib. 4483; 4490: O. N. F., omnium nomine faciundae, ib. 4415: O. T. B. Q., ossa tua bene quiescant: O. V., optimo viro, ib. 4135; also: optimi viri, ib. 5037.

• one:

I. As card. num.:

1. ūnus: pass. (N.B.--Used in pl. with subss. which though plural in form are virtually singular: e. g. one letter or epistle, unae litterae, Cic. Att. 14, 18.)
2. singŭli, ae, a (distrib. = one by one; one apiece): he began to eat (the frogs) o. by o., coepit vesci singulas, Phaedr. 1, 31, 11: he stationed o. legion at Brundisium, o. at Sipontum, o. at Tarentum, legiones s. posuit Brundisii, Siponti, Tarenti, Cic. Att. 9, 15: o. priest for each (god), s. singulorum sacerdotes, id. Leg. 2, 12, 29. Also adverb. singillatim (one by one, singly) or singulatim: Cic.: Caes.: v. singly. One and a half, sesquialter, ĕra, ĕrum (rare): Cic. Tim. 7 (superdimidius, late: Capell.) = unus dimidiatusque (v. half): at one time, simul, uno tempore, etc. (v. once, II.): the number o., monas, unio (v. unit, monad): o. in ten, decimus quisque, Liv. 2, 59, extr.: Cic.

II. Denoting agreement or virtual identity: expr. by īdem: to have one (and the same) wish, idem velle, Sall. Cat. 20, ad init.: v. same. (N.B.--Esp. in connexion with unus: o. and the same end, exitus unus et idem, Cic. Div. 2, 47, 97.) Phr.: it is all one (makes no difference), nihil interest (v. difference, I., 5): to be at o., consentire, idem sentire (v. to agree): even the consuls were not altogether at o., ne inter consules quidem ipsos satis conveniebat, Liv. 2, 23, fin.
III. An individual:

1. quīdam, quaedam, quoddam (a certain one: used when it is either unnecessary or undesirable to mention a name): o. of the soldiers of the tenth legion, q. ex militibus decimae legionis, Caes. B. G. 1, 42: o. of the advocati, a person of the highest character, q. ex advocatis, homo summa virtute praeditus, Cic. Clu. 63, 177.
2. ūnus (where the individual is simply one of many, and not needing to be named): then (said) o. of the remaining (doves), i. e. on behalf of the rest, tunc de reliquis una, Phaedr. 1, 31, extr.: o. of the many (an ordinary person), unus de multis, Cic. Fin. 2, 20, 66.

IV. With ref. to time; not defined, either in the past or the future: Phr.: at o. time, olim, quondam (v. formerly): o. day, olim., aliquando (v. hereafter).
V. In contrast to the other:

1. hic, foll. by ille (when hic denotes that which is at present under consideration): cf. Cic. Am. 2, 10, hujus facta, illius dicta laudantur, i. e. the deeds of the one (viz. Cato; who is the subject of discourse), the speeches of the other: Smith's Lat. Dict. s. v. hic (4).
2. alter ... alter; or when more than two persons (or things) are spoken of, ălius ... ălius: the o. (mind) is shared by us with the gods, the other (body) with brutes, alterum nobis cum dis, alterum cum beluis commune est, Sall. Cat. init.: o. thing is nature to a horse, another to an ox, another to a man, aliud equo est natura, aliud bovi, aliud homini, Cic. Fin. 5, 9, 26: when difference or contrast is indicated, alius ... alius may even be used of two objects: cf. Cic. Coel. 3, 6, aliud est maledicere, aliud accusare (where alterum would have been much less forcible). Alius also sometimes follows aliquis: cf. Cic. Tusc. 4, 28, 60, putat aliquis, esse voluptatem bonum: alius autem pecuniam (where aliquis is however more definite than alius would be. referring to Epicurus). (N.B.--Alius often occurs in different cases in the same sentence = one ... one; other ... other: e. g. alium alio mittit: he sends o. in o. direction, and another in another, alium alio mittit, Sall. Cat. 27: see L. G. §§ 629, 692.)
3. expr. one ... the other, one another, either by (1). inter se [se inter se, in Cic. Am. 22, 82, is prob. a false reading]: the young Ciceros love o. another, Cicerones pueri amant inter se, Cic. Att. 6, 1, 9: the soldiers embrace o. another with tears, complecti inter se lacrimantes milites, Liv. 7, 42, med.: or by (2). alter, alius ... with another case of the same pronoun: the o. needs the help of the other, alterum alterius auxilio eget, Sall. Cat. 1, extr.: o. stimulates the other, alius alium hortari, ib. 6.
4. expr. one or the other by altĕrŭter, tra, trum (also with both parts of the word decl.: rare): you must be either the o. or the other, est necesse alterutrum (te esse), Cic. Div. Verr. 18, 58: Hor. Phr.: o. good turn deserves another (Prov.), mutuum muli scabunt, Aus. Id. 12, pref.: cf. Ter. Ph. 2, 1, 37, tradunt operas mutuas we have done o. another many good turns, multa inter nos officia mutua intercedunt Cic. Fam. 13, 65 (v. mutually, in turn): at o. time ... at another time, modo ... modo, Cic. N. D. 1, 18, 47: Ter. (v. now): to love o. another more ardently, ardentius invicem diligere, Plin. 7, 20, fin. (not so in Cic., who uses, inter se: v. supr.).

VI. Equivalent to German man; Fr. on:

1. use 2 pers. sing.: 'tis natural to hate the person o. has injured, proprium humani ingenii est odisse quem laeseris, Tac. Agr. 42: before o. begins anything, deliberation is wanted, priusquam incipias, consulto opus est, Sall. Cat. 1, extr.: Cic. Esp. in such exprr. as, o. would have thought, o. might have seen: putares (putes), crederes, videres: o. would have thought he was giving evidence, when he was pleading for the accused, testimonium dicere putares, quum pro reo diceret, Cic. Br. 29, 111: o. would think the time stood still, stare putes tempora, Ov. Tr. 5, 10, 5: o. would have thought they were defeated, crederes victos, Liv. 2, 43, ad fin.: Cic. (Zumpt, § 515).
2. expr. by impers. pass. (of intrans. verbs), and by such other impers. verbs as lĭcet, ŏportet, jŭvat, etc.: whatever o. is not at liberty to do, o. certainly ought not to do, quidquid non licet, certe non oportet, Cic. Bal. 3, extr.: o. has not to live with perfect people, non vivitur cum perfectis hominibus, Cic. Off. 1, 15, init.: o. must resist old age, resistendum est senectuti, id. Sen. 11, 35. (The 1st pers. pl. may also be used in general statements, as in Eng.: what o. wishes, o. readily believes, quae volumus, credimus libenter, R. and A.)

VII. In strictly indef. sense: usu. preceded by some, any: quis or qui, quae, quid or quod (chiefly after si, ne, num, if any o., lest any o., etc.), quispiam (used substantively, and more definite and emphatic than the simple quis cf. Cic. Sen. 3, 8, fortasse quispiam dixerit, perhaps some one may say); quisquam or ullus (any single o.; quisquam being used as subs. and ullus as adj.); quivis, quilibet (any o. you please; any and every o.): v. any, some.
VIII. Preceded by def. art., the one: expr. by is, ipse, īdem: I said as soon as ever you showed it me, that it was the o. (the ring), dixi ubi mihi ostendisti illico eum esse, Ter. Heaut. 4, 2, 3 (where ipsum or eundem would simply have been more emphatic than eum).
IX. In connexion with rel. pron., one who: is (qui). no one a faithful defender of the wretched, save o. who is wretched himself, miserorum fidelis defensor (nemo) nisi is qui ipse miser sit, Cic. Mur. 25, 50: also foll. by ut, id. Fl. 15, 34, est, credo, is vir iste, ut civitatis nomen sua auctoritate sustineat, he is one who will, etc.

adj.
Opposed to two or more, unus (used also for unicus and idem; necessarily in the plur. with substantives which have no sing.): unicus (single one, one and more): idem (when several actions or circumstances are to be referred to the same subject): alter (ἕτερος, of things which exist only in pairs; e.g., altero pede claudus): to become one of several, unum fieri ex pluribus: I will still observe one thing, unum illud addam: that is not a matter for one man, illud in unius hominis prudentiam cadere non potest (Col., 5, 1, 1): this one thing disturbs me, that, etc., me una haec res torquet, quod, etc.: the gods have not given everything to one man, non omnia eidem dii dederunt; in one word, uno verbo (if only one word follows; Vid: Cic., Phil., 2, 22, 54): ut paucis dicam (if only a few words follow): in one tenor, continenter (without interruption; ☞ continuo is wrong): usque (continually): uno tenore (in one course): not one, ne unus quidem, non ullus, nemo unus (not even a single one): non unus, unus et alter item, nonnemo (not one, but several): no one of us, nemo de nobis unus: not one of them, ii nulli: never a one, numquam ullus: one and another, unus et alter; unus alterque (two together): nonnemo, unus et item alter (several): one after the other, alius post alium, alius ex alio, alii super alios, alius atque alius, alius subinde (general term): alter post alterum (of two): deinceps (in uninterrupted succession; of space, time, and order: it is usually placed between the substantive and predicate or pronoun; e.g., horum deinceps annorum): continenter (only before and after the classical period): continue (continually, without intermission; not to be confounded with continuo = immediately thereupon, without interruption. The Latin also, expresses it by continuus =following one another; e.g., triduum continuum: dies continuos tres; singuli deinceps (each one successively): alternis (of two, alternately; e.g., alternis [sc. versibus] dicere; alternis versibus contendere): one as well as the other, uterque pariter, ambo pariter (both equally): the one... the other, alter (rarely unus)... alter; hic... ille (this... that): prior... posterior (the former... the latter): the one (party)... the others, alii... alii; alii... pars (or partim): pars... alii; quidam... alii: the one (parly)... the other... others again, alii... alii (or partim)... alii (and thus alii alternately with partim, eight times in Cic., N.D., 2, 47, 122): one... to the other, or the other (accusative), alter... alteri or alterum (of two): alius... alii or alium (of several; e.g., one helps the other, alter alterum or alius alium adjuvat): If, however, “other” be connected with a substantive, the substantive is repeated in Latin; e.g., to remove from one house to another, ex domo in domum migrare: one citizen obeys the other, civis civi paret: one hand washes the other, manus manum lavat or fricat: one fears the other, timent inter se: happy at one time, unhappy at another, alias beatus, alias miser: the one this... the other that, alius aliud; alii alia: the one so, the other differently, alius aliter: one here, another there, alius alibi: one hither, another thither, alius alio: one time so, another time differently, aliud alias: both the one party and the other are threatened with dangers, but from different quarters, aliis aliunde est periculum. If “one” refer to a substantive previously mentioned, it is rendered by unus (opposed to two or more) or alicujus (if indefinite): as, there were several elephants there; have you seen one? plures aderant elephanti; num unum vidisti? here are your books; have you read one of them? hic sunt tui libri; num aliquem ex iis legisti? If by “one” an individual is emphatically denoted and singled out from a multitude, unus is used, usually with the preposition ex or de, or the meaning is expressed by a simple ex or inter; as, there was among them one of the Nervians, named Verticus, erat intus unus Nervius, nomine Vertico: Fufius, one of my intimate friends, Fufius, unus ex meis intimis: to command one of the chief leaders of sedition to be taken away, abripi unum insignem ducem seditionum jubere: the leader himself, one of the most rash and daring, dux ipse inter stolidissimos ferocissimosque.
To denote agreement, concourse, etc., one and the same, unus, idem. (The words are found in this connection and order.) unus atque idem; unus idemque; e.g., at one time (to do several things, etc.); uno or eodem tempore; uno eodemque tempore: it is all one, idem est, par est (Vid: Cic., Muren., 19, 41): if followed by “whether... or,” nihil interest utrum... an (Vid: Cic., Rosc. Am., 41, 120): it is not one and the same thing, to rob and to fight, aliud est rapere, aliud pugnare (Liv., 1, 12; ☞ Cic., Coel., 3, 6).
In denoting time, and (more rarely) measure, unus is usually omitted, unless an opposition of a greater number be implied; e.g., the matrons mourned for Brutus one whole year, as for a father, matronae annum, ut parentem, Brutum luxerunt: not more than one bushel, non plus modio: it seemed to be all one blaze, omnia velut continenti flamma ardere visa (Curt., 3, 8, 18; ☞ Hirt., B.G., 8, 15, extr.).
One and a half, unus dimidiatusque; sesquialter. The Latin forms many compounds with sesqui; e.g., a foot and a half in length, sesquipedalis: an inch and a half, sesquidigitus: of an inch and a half in length, sesquidigitalis: a pound and a half, sesquilibra: a bushel and a half, sesquimodius: an acre and a half, sesquijugerum: an hour and a half, sesquihora: a month and a half, sesquimensis: to be a month and a half old, sesquimense esse natu: a day and a half’s work, sesquiopera: one year and a half, sex mensium et anni spatium (Georges); unus annus cum dimidio, or et sex menses (Kraft).

indefinite pronoun,
Denoting an indefinite individual out of a definite number, anyone, aliquis; unus aliquis (emphatically implying that the individual is only one); e.g., one of you, aliquis ex vobis: one of the early kings, aliquis priorum regum: one of yours, unus aliquis ex tuis: one of the party, vir factionis. If = a certain one, a definite individual, whom one may not, or will not name, quidam; as, one of the colleagues, quidam de collegis. But if “one” is = anyone, i. e., denotes an indefinite individual out of an indefinite number, we find quispiam, also aliquis; e.g., one may perhaps say, forsitan quispiam dixerit; dixerit hic aliquis (poetically): one will perhaps call me unjust, iniquum me esse quispiam dicet: one will say perhaps, dicet aliquis forte: ☞ (a) after si, nisi, ne, num, quando, ubi, and generally, in conditional propositions, also without the conjunction, quis must be used instead of aliquis or quispiam; as, if anyone has once sworn falsely, no credit should afterward be given to him, ubi semel quis pejeraverit, ei postea credi non oportet. (b) In negative propositions, and in such as contain a negitive sense, (any) “one” is expressed by quisquam (substantively) and ullus (adjectively); e.g., is there among men anyone of whom you think better? estne quisquam omnium mortalium, de quo melius existimes tu? is there one thing of so much worth, or one thing so desirable, that, etc., an est ulla res tanti, aut commodum ullum tam expetendum, ut, etc.: just as good... as (any) one, tam... quam qui maxime; e.g., I am as good a patriot as anyone, tam sum amicus reipublicae, quam qui maxime: or by juxta ac (atque), etc.; e.g., instructed in Greek and Roman litterature as well as any one, litteris Graecis atque Latinis juxta ac doctissimo eruditus (i. e., as the most learned). Since, however, the pronouns do not express our “one” in its full extent, we must frequently express the sense by other words or phraseology: (A) by the passive; (1) personally; if one is guilty of a fault, si qua culpa committitur: one can not live happily except by living virtuously, non potest jucunde vivi, nisi cum virtute vivatur: it is foolish for one to fear what cannot be avoided, stultum est timere id quod vitari non potest; (2) impersonally; one lives, vivitur: evening is coming on; one must go home, jam advesperascit, domum revertendum est; (3) by ablatives absolute; if one assumes this case, hoc posito: (B) by the active; (1) the third person sing.; (a) of impersonal active verbs; e.g., one ought, oportet; one may, licet; (b) one says, inquit (parenthetically); e.g., it is impossible, says one, that all anger can be eradicated from the mind, non potest, inquit, omnis ira ex animo tolli: (2) the first person plur., when the speaker includes himself under the unknown subject; e.g., what one wishes one gladly believes, quae volumus, credimus libenter: (3) the second person sing. indicative, subjunctive, or imperative, in impassioned exhortations, demands, and statements; e.g., one does not see God, yet he may be recognized as God by his works, Deum non vides, tamen ut Deum agnoscis ex operibus ejus. Especially, the second person sing. in the subjunctive, where we say, one can, might, would have; e.g., one might have seen, videres: one would have believed, putares; (4) the participle present masculine in general propositions; e.g., if one aims at the first place, it is commendable to attain to the second or third only, prima sequentem, honestum est in secundis et tertiis consistere. (C) If the English “one” is in Latin the subject of the infinitive, it is not expressed separately; e.g., humanity requires that one pardon his friend, ignoscere amico humanum est. But with the infinitive esse, and with those verbs which in the passive have two nominatives (of the subject and predicate), as, videri, fieri, existimari, we find, at least, the accusative of the predicate; e.g., the greatest riches, is for one to be contented with his lot, maximae sunt divitiae, contentum suis rebus esse.
