Words similar to 'either' and 'neither' for 3 items

While perhaps not the most standard construction, neither can be used in lists of three. Wikitionary, for example, lists the idiom neither fish, flesh, nor fowl as an acceptable form. W.H. Fowler makes the same claim. And, Wikitionary points out that you can use neither for lists of two or more.

If it is vital that each word be negated, one could perhaps follow Dr. Suess:

Not on a train! Not in a tree! Not in a car! Sam! Let me be! I would not, could not, in a box. I could not, would not, with a fox. I will not eat them with a mouse I will not eat them in a house. I will not eat them here or there. I will not eat them anywhere. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

If you like neither Green Eggs, nor Ham, nor anything similar, you could get your point across that way - but it also works well just to say "I do not like any of them."

All of this to say, there is no need for a new word to express what neither / nor / nor already does. Like a good programmer, English seems content with only knowing three numbers - zero, one, and more than one. The difference between two and three is sufficiently insignificant to need a new one.

Neither A, nor b, nor c itself is fine.

U.S. Postal Service Creed: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

In the context of not wanting:

• I like neither A nor B nor C.
• I don't like any of A or B or C.
• I'll watch neither A, nor B, nor C.
• I like none of them.

or, most likely in conversation, 'or':

• I don't like A or B or C -- with extra stress on 'or'.

I think you've confused everyone no end. So I am going to skip over most of what has been said here, and merely aim at the answer to your question, which seems to be the one thing that no one has actually done. And here's my answer: No. There is no such word.

To be clear: You are asking if there is a word similar to neither which one could use if asked one's preference for something out of three or more things, when one's answer is that one prefers none of them (a word other than none). The word you seek would be something on the order of theither (a neologism I created just now merely to demonstrate the sort of word you would be seeking), and I reiterate, it doesn't, and never did, exist.

Do I know this for a fact? Absolutely not. I assert this merely on the basis of my own personal knowledge and long experience of the language. I have nothing to back it up. So take that for what it's worth.

As you emphasize the issue of the number three, I suggest,

Do you want to watch A, B, C ... ? None, I don't like any of the three. Likewise, any of the four.
