not (absolute negation)
| Root | οὐ (ou) |
| Core Meanings | not, no, absolute negation, denial of fact |
| Semantic Range | no, not, none, nothing, never (in factual statements), neither; forms compound negations (e.g., οὐ μή) for emphatic denial. |
| Conceptual Significance | οὐ serves as the standard particle of factual negation in Greek discourse, marking statements as objectively untrue. In biblical theology it is foundational for categorical denials, prohibitions in indicative form, and emphatic assertions of impossibility or non-existence, shaping doctrinal affirmations by clear negation. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,D — adverb (negative particle); uninflected; used primarily with the indicative mood to express objective or factual negation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb οὐ functions as the objective or factual negation in Greek, typically used with the indicative mood to deny reality. Rendering it as "not (absolute negation)" preserves its core function as a categorical denial rather than a subjective or conditional negation (which would use μή). |
