ἀλλ’ ἤ

A. = ἀλλά 1.3, except, but, after negs., esp. οὐδείς or μηδείς, which are often joined with ἄλλος or ἕτερος, as οὐδεὶς ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐκείνη no one except her, Hdt. 9.109, cf. Th. 3.71, al.; μηδὲν ἄλλο δοκεῖν εἶναι ἀληθὲς ἀλλ’ ἢ τὸ σωματοειδές Pl. Phd. 81b, cf. R. 429b, etc.; ἀργύριον μὲν οὐκ ἔχω ἀλλ’ ἢ μικρόν τι X. An. 7.7.53 :—after questions implying a neg., Pl. Phdr. 258e :—in Ar. Ach. 1111,1112 ἀλλ’ ἦ (bis) is prob. l. for ἀλλ’ ἤ (bis). (This form seems to arise from a confusion of οὐδὲν ἄλλο ἤ other than, except, cf. Hdt. 1.49, 9.8, ἄλλο γε ἢ ὅτι.. except that . . , and οὐδὲν ἄλλο . . ἀλά.)
