Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction ē {ἢ | ē} followed by the simple negation ou {οὔ | oú} creates a stark either–or construction (“or not”), heightening the tension of the dilemma. English reproduces this structure by using a fronted verb phrase (“Is it lawful / Is it permitted”) and a final “or not?” to preserve the binary nature and legal focus of the original question.
Root and etymology
didōmidí-dō-mi | delta–iota–delta–omega–mu–iota
