Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "monon," the concept of exclusivity or singularity can be found in Hebrew words like "אַךְ" (ak, Strong's H389) meaning "surely" or "only," and "לְבַד" (levad, Strong's H905) meaning "alone." Usage: The adverb "monon" is used in the New Testament to emphasize exclusivity or singularity. It often serves to highlight a particular point or condition, indicating that something is the sole focus or requirement. It can be used to restrict or limit a statement to one particular aspect or condition.
