I have a sentence
I will call neither you nor him
I guess it means
I won't call neither you nor him
Out of it it's not clear whether I will call anyone at all but I want to say that I will call but among the people I will call there will be neither you nor him. Can I say it like
I will call somebody else, NOT neither you nor him
or should it be like
I will call somebody else, neither you nor him
I am worried NOT neither you nor him = 2 negations which is a bad grammar.
