A particle that marks an alternative; as, you may read or may
write, -- that is, you may do one of the things at your
pleasure, but not both. It corresponds to either. You may

expresses an alternative or subjoins a clause differing
from the foregoing. ``Or what man is there of you, who,
if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a
