Explanation: This word, without diacritics, most commonly functions as an interrogative particle, μῶν (mōn), used to introduce a question that expects a negative answer, similar to 'surely not?' or 'can it be that?'. It emphasizes the speaker's expectation that the answer will be 'no'. Less commonly, it could represent the genitive plural form of the noun μῦς (mys), meaning 'mouse', thus translating to 'of mice'. The context of the sentence is crucial for determining the correct meaning.
