is plus , "not a man", and it inflects on that second half: , accusative , dative . The genitive and ablative are borrowed from , giving and , because and nemine are avoided in classical prose. It is masculine or feminine according to who is meant, never neuter: the neuter partner is , "nothing".
Two constructions come with it. A relative clause after goes into the SUBJUNCTIVE, because it describes a type of person rather than picking out an individual: credat. And, as always in Latin, two negatives cancel rather than reinforce, so means "somebody", means "everybody", and neither is a mistake.
