• neminem accusat, he accuses no one.

a. Nullus, no, is commonly an adjective; but in the genitive and ablative singular it is regularly used instead of the corresponding cases of nemo, and in the plural it may be either an adjective or a substantive:---

• nullum mittitur telum (B. C. ii. 13), not a missile is thrown.

• nullo hoste prohibente (B. G. iii. 6), without opposition from the enemy.

• nullius insector calamitatem (Phil. ii. 98), I persecute the misfortune of no one.

• nullo adiuvante (id. x. 4), with the help of no one (no one helping).

• nulli erant praedones (Flacc. 28), there were no pirates.

• nulli eximentur (Pison. 94), none shall be taken away.
