Interpretation as apophasis versus ellipsis[edit]

Just as with not to mention, I'm not convinced that to say nothing of is necessarily apophasis — rather, it could simply be rhetorical/grammatical ellipsis. See the discussion at not to mention. I think pretty much all of my comments there are transferable to this phrase too. —DIV (1.145.12.245 12:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC))Reply
