not even one
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; nominative masculine singular; used substantively to denote no person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound of μή (not) and εἷς (one) emphasizes absolute exclusion—"not even one." As nominative masculine singular, it functions substantively as the subject, referring to no single person at all. |
