no
/ˈno/
The Greek word "νο" is not a standard standalone word in modern Greek; it is most commonly encountered as a prefix or abbreviation. In scientific and technical contexts, it is the standard abbreviation for "νούμερο" (number). When you see this on a tag, a document, or a form, think of it as the direct equivalent of the English "No." or "#". It is used to label sequence or identification, such as "No. 1" or "Item No. 5".
