Can't figure out the word "point" in this sentence. Hi, I'm a complete begineer, and began reading Voyage Au Centre De La Terre. In one of the first paragraphs it says: "mais le dîner a le droit de ne point être cuit" I know the translation of the sentence as a whole, but can't figure out what "point" is. Is a conjugation of "poindre"? It still wouldn't make much sense to me. Which other word could replace it?
