not
| Morphological Notes | Negative adverbial particle (UGNT: T); indeclinable; expresses objective negation; οὐχ is the form used before rough breathing. |
| Rendering Rationale | This form (οὐχ) is a phonetic variant of οὐ used before rough breathing, functioning as an adverbial particle of strong, objective negation. "Not" best preserves its role as an absolute factual denial without adding contextual nuance. |
