SIBI-P1 G3367-01
not-even-one (man)
| Root | μηδείς (mēdeis) |
| Core Meanings | no one, not even one, none at all, nobody, nothing (in neuter forms) |
| Semantic Range | no one, nobody, none, not even a single person, nothing (with neuter forms), no one at all |
| Conceptual Significance | Used to express total negation, often emphasizing the complete absence of any person within a category. In theological contexts it can underscore universal human conditions (e.g., none righteous) or categorical prohibitions, heightening the absoluteness of a statement. |
| Morphological Notes | Relative/indefinite pronoun; nominative masculine singular (Gr,RI,,,,NMS,). Functions as a singular subject meaning “no one” or “not even one (man).” Derived from μή (negative particle) + εἷς (one). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound force of μή (not) + εἷς (one), expressing absolute negation as “not-even-one.” The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by specifying “(man)” and presenting it as a singular subject. |
