What is the difference between Nao and NON ?-both portuguese words. I know that nao means no or not , but NON is the word used by the Potruguese film director Manoel de Oliveira for his film " no , or the vain glory of command ". I can't find NON in any online dictionaries and don't have a proper Portuguese (book) dictionary to hand .
I hope someone can help. I know French Spanish and English well and am trying to decipher heavy Portuguese texts with only these other languages .
