nothing
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; neuter; singular; nominative (form also functions as accusative neuter singular). |
| Rendering Rationale | The neuter singular form denotes the total absence of any thing, emphasizing ‘not even one’ in the realm of things. ‘Nothing’ preserves the absolute exclusion inherent in the compound of μή (not) and εἷς (one). |
