Translations: not, or, he knew, she knew, it knew
From the root: ΟΥ̓, Ἠ, ΓΙΝΩΣΚΩ
Part of Speech: Adverb, Conjunction, Verb
Explanation: This is a compound phrase formed by the elision of three words: οὐκ (ouk), meaning 'not'; ἤ (ē), which can mean 'or' or be the imperfect indicative third person singular of the verb εἰμί (eimi), 'to be'; and γνοεῖ (gnoei), which is the third person singular imperfect indicative of the verb γινώσκω (ginōskō), meaning 'to know'. In this specific context, it most likely translates to 'he/she/it did not know' or 'he/she/it was not knowing'. The combination suggests a negation of knowledge or understanding.
Inflection: Does not inflect (for οὐκ); Third Person Singular, Imperfect Indicative, Active Voice (for ἤ and γνοεῖ)
