SIBI-P1 G3763-01
not-even at-any-time
| Root | οὐδέποτε (oudépote) |
| Core Meanings | never, not ever, not at any time, at no time whatsoever |
| Semantic Range | never, not ever, not at any time, under no circumstance, in no instance whatsoever |
| Conceptual Significance | οὐδέποτε expresses absolute negation across time, often underscoring the total absence of an action or state. In biblical discourse it can heighten theological claims—such as the unbroken faithfulness of God or the complete absence of prior revelation—by stressing that something has not occurred at any time. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable. Functions as a temporal negation modifying verbs, participles, or whole clauses, intensifying denial by combining οὐδέ (not even) with ποτέ (ever/at any time). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound structure of οὐδέ ("not even") and ποτέ ("at any time"), making explicit the emphatic negation inherent in the term. As an adverb (Gr,D), it is indeclinable and modifies verbs or clauses, so the translation reflects its function as a temporal negation without adding grammatical features not present in the form. |
