| 词组 | nohow |
| 释义 | nohow This adverb appears never to have been common in standard written English, but it has had some reputable use in the sense "in no way": • This is a modification ... which we can no-how bring ourselves to conceive —Sir John F. W. Her-schel, essay, 1841 (OED) It is now rarely seen except in representations or transcriptions of nonstandard or dialectal speech, in which it typically follows another negative: • "Well," the guy from the patrol said, "I guess I didn't expect it was no hotel nohow." —Robert O. Bowen, The Weight of the Cross, 1951 • ... I wasn't on Dan's back much of the time nohow, but mostly jest strung out from my holt on Mister Ernest's belt —William Faulkner, Saturday Evening Post, 5 Mar. 1955 Nohow also has some dialectcal use in a sense synonymous with anyway: • "... It's ten mile, nohow. Wouldn't you be a sight by daylight!" —Elizabeth Madox Roberts, The Time of Man, 1926 |
