| Comments: | I don't, as I think it doesn't mean the same as the other(s). If it is added, it really needs to be its own entry. |

| Comments: | Adding another sense of the meaning (otherwise; or else). This is the sense in the sample sentence, for example: "外へでなさい、でないと後悔しますよ." See also the example sentence at the referenced link (でなければ喜んでお招きに応じたのですが. Otherwise I would have accepted your invitation with pleasure.) |
