English term or phrase: and not
Greetings,

I mean "and not" when you are joining two words in the subjunctive.

E.g.
Let him not be scolded and not (be) beaten.

My worry is that if you use ne + que (long E in "ne") it might be confused with neque (short E).

Many thanks,

Simon

neve
Explanation:
One uses 'neve' (poetic 'neu') instead of 'nec' or 'neque' in subordinate clauses, particularly with the subjunctive.

Thus, 'Let him not be scolded and not (be) beaten' = Ne obiurgetur neve vapulet'.

nec


Explanation:
This would be also possible. You have to use it in correlation with other nec:

nec eum obiurgetur nec vapulet

agree  Joseph J. Brazauskas: Yes, it's possible, but in classical Latin at least, not outside of a subordinate clause, save in indirect discourse. Later Latin is freer.
