melos

μελῶν [2 verses](noun pl neut gen) "Members" is melos, which means "limb", "feature", "form", "a musical phrase," and "the music to which a song is set." -- The word translated as "member" primarily means "limb." However, it also means a "feature," that is, a part of the whole. However, coupled with the one, it suggests a double entendre for another part of the body that is more like a limb.

men

μὲν [31 verses](partic) "Indeed" is men , which is generally used to express certainty and means "indeed," "certainly," "surely," and "truly." Alone in a question, it assumes the answer like "I take it" or "isn't it."  Used with the conjunction de,  it points out the specific word being contrasted after the conjunction. In English, we usually say, "on one hand...on the other hand." See the article here for specific uses with other particles.  -- The "truly" here is a particle, which, when used alone, expresses certainty, "truly" and "certainly." Alone in a question, it assumes the answer like "I take it" or "isn't it."  However, when used with the conjunction translated here as "but" takes on the meaning "on one hand..." with the "on the other hand" identified by the "but" phrase.

mepote

Μήποτε [2 verses](adv) "Not so, lest" is mepote, which means "never," and "on no account." As a conjunction, "lest ever." Literally, it means "not when."

Used in prohibitions with an aortic subjunctive. Today, we would say "no way!" Literally, the Greek word means "not when."
