Grammatical Analysis

"μήτι"

Function: interrogative particle (often expects a negative answer); frequently used in deliberative/indirect questions and sometimes with an ironical or cautious nuance (‘surely not…?,’ ‘perhaps…?’ depending on context)

Notes: Form μήτι is distinct from μή τι (‘not something’) though it can historically arise from μή + τι; in standard usage it functions as the single interrogative particle μήτι.
