ΜΗΚΑΙΤΗ, μηκαιτη
MĒKAITĒ, mēkaitē
Sounds Like: MEH-kahee-TEH
Translations: not and, lest and, neither and, nor and
From the root: ΜΗ, ΚΑΙ, ΤΗ
Part of Speech: Conjunction, Adverb, Particle
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of three separate Koine Greek particles/conjunctions: ΜΗ (mē), ΚΑΙ (kai), and ΤΗ (tē). It is highly unlikely to be a single, standalone word in Koine Greek. It is most probable that this is a transcription error, a misreading, or a very unusual and specific elision/combination of these common words. If it were to be interpreted literally as a compound, it would mean something like 'not and' or 'lest and'. However, it's more likely that these are three distinct words that have been run together in the manuscript, or that 'ΤΗ' is an article or pronoun following 'ΜΗ ΚΑΙ'. Given the context of ancient manuscripts lacking diacritics and spaces, such a combination is plausible as a transcription artifact.
Inflection: Does not inflect (as a compound of particles/conjunctions). If 'ΤΗ' is an article, it would be Singular, Dative, Feminine.
Unknown: Yes
