SIBI-P1 G3441-07
only, as the sole-thing
| Root | μόνος (monos) |
| Core Meanings | alone, solitary, single, only, sole |
| Semantic Range | only, alone, merely, solely, exclusively, just, but |
| Conceptual Significance | μόνον marks exclusivity or restriction, often sharpening theological claims by distinguishing what is uniquely true, necessary, or sufficient—such as allegiance to God alone, faith alone, or a single decisive factor in salvation history. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); neuter singular form of μόνος used adverbially; indeclinable in this function; expresses limitation or exclusivity modifying verbs, adjectives, or clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | μόνον is the neuter singular form of μόνος used adverbially, functioning as an indeclinable adverb. Rendering it as "only, as the sole-thing" preserves its derivation from "alone/sole" while reflecting its adverbial force of exclusivity or limitation. |
