No

adv. [A-S. & O. Fries. nā, Skr. na, Per. nah. Cf. NAY.] Nay;—a word of denial or refusal, expressing a negative. Before an adjective or adverb in the comparative degree, it is used instead of not, for in no respect or degree, or not at all; as, no longer, no shorter. After another negative it is emphatic.
