32. 4. THE GENITIVE IN EXPRESSIONS OF WORTHLESSNESS a) Nihili,
flocci, nauci, etc. (i) Nihili Of all the expressions of
worthlessness in Latin nihili, the genitive of nihilum (ne--hilum),
is the one most frequently found. Unlike the others it is not
confined strictly to the colloquial sphere. It has a wide range,
showing greater mobility and more variety of use than any other. So
frequent is it, and so common the occurrence of nihil and nihilo as
colorless negatives, that its original meaning is almost lost sight
of. In hilum, its primitive, we have a word of somewhat doubtful
etymology. Charisius, K. i. 102, quoting Varro, says "hilum Varro
rerum humanarum intestinum dicit tenuissimum, quod alii hillum
appellaverunt." Varro's own words L.L. v. 22. in (G. and S.) are ab
eadem fartura farciminainextis appellata, fa quo, in eo quod
tenuissimum intestinum fartum, hila ab hilo dicta illo, quod ait
Ennius 'neque dispendi facit hilum, ' which he explains in ix. 37.
54 as equivalent to 'nee dispendii facit quicquam.' Nonius
(Lindsay, p. 174) does not help us very much with his comment:
hilum, breve quod- dam. Lucilius (Marx 1021): quod tu nunc laudes
culpes, non proficis hilum. Perhaps the explanation of Festus (Th.
de P. 72), hilum putavit esse quod grano fabae adhaeret, ex quo
nihil et nihilum, brings us nearest to the ultimate force of the
word. Modern etymologists connect it with filum, "a thread." See
Stowasser, Lexikon, Vorbegriffe, 2, and Walde, s.v. Besides the
passages already cited it is used as something infinitely small by
Lucilius (458 Marx) hilo non rectius vivas;...
