"New Latin Grammar"

.. nor_;
cum ... tum, _while ... at the same time_;
tum ... tum, _not only ... but also_.
Less frequently:--
et ... neque; neque ... et.
a. Note that the Latin, with its tendency to emphasize antithetical
relations, often uses correlatives, especially et ... et, et ... neque,
neque ... et, where the English employs but a single connective.
4. In enumerations--
a) The different members of a series may follow one another without
connectives (Asyndeton; see ?§ 346). Thus:--
ex cupidit??tibus odia, discidia, discordiae, s?“diti??n?“s, bella
n??scuntur, _from covetous desires spring up hatred, dissension,
discord, sedition, wars_.
b) The different members may severally be connected by et (Polysyndeton).
Thus:--
h??rae c?“dunt et di?“s et m?“ns?“s et ann?«, _hours and days and months and
years pass away_.
c) The connective may be omitted between the former members, while the
last two are connected by -que (rarely et); as,--
Caesar in Carnut?“s, And?“s Turon?“sque legi??n?“s d?“d?«cit, _Caesar leads
his legions into the territory of the Carnutes, Andes, and Turones_.
342. Disjunctive Conjunctions indicate an _alternative_.

1. a) aut must be used when the alternatives are mutually exclusive; as,--
cita mors venit aut vict??ria laeta, _(either) swift death or glad
victory comes_.
