Nulli

Nulli is a term that appears primarily in Latin grammar as a form of the adjective nullus, meaning "none" or "no." In Latin, nulli is a specific inflected form used to modify a noun, most commonly the masculine nominative plural; it may also appear in other cases depending on the declension and syntax, such as the dative singular.

The function is to negate the noun it accompanies, as in nulli libri "no books" or nulli homines "no men." The base adjective nullus has the sense of absence or negation and is used in classical Latin to indicate the lack of quantity or existence.

Etymologically, nullus derives from Latin nullus, itself from the Proto-Italic root related to negation. Throughout Latin literature and inscriptions, the form nulli occurs in legal phrases, poetry, and prose to express exclusion or scarcity.

In modern contexts, nulli is not a common English word outside linguistic discussion of Latin grammar. It may appear in scholarly works as an example of Latin inflection, and occasionally as a surname or in fictional works where Latin phrases are used stylistically. However, there is no widely recognized organization, concept, or subject routinely referred to simply as "Nulli" in English-language reference sources.
