Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí}, linking this scene to the preceding vision.
The second half introduces a new clause with kai {καὶ | kaí}, followed by the subject–verb sequence oudeis edynato {οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο | oudeís edúnato}, “no one was able,” plus the complementary infinitive eiselthein {εἰσελθεῖν | eiseltheîn}, “to enter,” forming a construction of total incapacity.
Root and etymology
dikēdelta–iota–kappa–eta

In context — Revelation 15:8
