ᴹQ. alli adj. and pron. “no [not any quantity]” (Category: Negation)
A plural variant of ᴹQ. alla “none”, as in ᴹQ. sisse alli neri “there are no men here, (lit.) here [are] no men” (PE23/108 note #96). Likely it can also be used as a pronoun: cenin alli “I see none (of a group)”. It has a variant allina, presumably only adjectival: *alline neri “no (quantity of) men”. Strictly speaking alli is a combination of ᴹQ. alla “none” and the suffix ᴹQ. -lli(ni) “quantity”, so actually “*not any quantity”.
