μηδέπω
mēdépō
A particle meaning 'not yet,' expressing that something has not occurred up to the present moment or at the current point in time, often with an expectation or implication that it may occur later. Used to emphasize the complete absence of a fact or action up to 'now,' sometimes with a heightened sense compared to οὔπω (oupo, 'not yet'). In certain contexts, it carries a force of 'not ever yet,' i.e., not even at this point.

SIBI-P1 Translation G3369-01
not even yet
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): indeclinable particle expressing intensified temporal negation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound of μηδέ (not even) and -πω (yet) intensifies the temporal negation, expressing that something has not occurred up to this present point, with emphasis. "Not even yet" preserves both the strengthened negation and the temporal aspect inherent in the adverb. |
