SIBI-P1 Translation G3367-05
to no one
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; dative masculine singular (Gr,RI,,,,DMS); functioning substantivally to denote not even one person in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form expresses indirect object or reference, rendered concisely as "to no one." This preserves the compound sense of μή (not) + εἷς (one), emphasizing absolute exclusion of even a single person. |
