    The functional notation is on :not(), not :hover:

    a:not(.active):hover
    

    If you prefer to put :hover first, that’s fine:

    a:hover:not(.active)
    

    It doesn’t matter which pseudo-class comes first or last; either way, the selector works the same. It just happens to be my personal convention to put :hover last as I tend to place user-interaction pseudo-classes behind structural pseudo-classes.
