Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'οὐ[a] and μή[a] are lexically equivalent in meaning, but they have a syntactic distribution which may be said to give them certain distinctions in so-called class meaning. However, since these differences are based upon syntactic distributions, such distinctions in meaning are beyond the scope of this type of lexical analysis. The form οὐ, of course, tends to occur primarily in indicative clauses, while μή occurs generally in non-indicative clauses.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04202203500026'], 'Content': 'A question such as μή τινος ὑστερήσατε; ({S:04202203500026}) actually suggests agreement with the equivalent of a negative statement, ‘you did not lack anything.’ It is for this reason that in some languages the response to this type of question is with a positive particle meaning ‘yes.’'}]

        Glosses: ['to do something secretly', 'to do something without letting the public know']

        Comments: It is rare that one can preserve this idiom, since in its literal form it may seem absurd. For many English-speaking people the meaning has already been twisted by common usage to mean ‘be sure to not let anyone know if you are performing something that is shady or illegal.’ Today’s English Version attempts to represent something of the impact of this idiom by translating “do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it.”
