English meaning : not, the indicative-objective negative
Russian meaning[s]: 1) отрицание перед прилагательными, модальными глаголами, связками; перед прочими глаголами выражает одновременно оттенки настоящего или будущего времени, в противоположность 沒; не; 2) в диалоге нет!; 3) разг. на конце вопросительного предложения заменяет сказуемое в отрицательной форме; 4) инфикс невозможности совершения действия в сложных глаголах с суффиксами; 5) с последующим 也, 亦 если не..., даже если не...; [fǒu] вэньянь нет, или нет, вм.
Shuowen gloss: 鳥飛上翔不下來也. 從一. 一猶天也. 象形. 凡不之屬皆從不.
Comments: This OC negation has no certain ST parallels; although there are some vague traces of a *p-negation in WC languages (perhaps also in Yenisseian, where it, however, should have regularly merged with the more widely spread *m-negation), it may be a purely Chinese innovation. Cf. PAN *bak (? *ba) 'negative marker'.
