'ioe

'ioe
==Ancient Zekaiseivarsei==
===phrasal verb or interjection===
I don't/didn't/have not know(n)
====Examples====
zu aihn ye 'ioe
I didn't know you were my father.
==== Usage notes ====
Sometimes 'ioe is used with zih for emphasis. Although zih is a negative, it does not negate 'ioe.
zih 'ioe intali. I do not know about mathematics. If translated word-for-word, this would read not not I know mathematics (which in common English is rendered I don't not know mathematics), but that is not the real meaning of the sentence. zih is used as a intensive of negation rather than a negative itself. 
zih 'ioe intali. means I really don't know mathematics.
This verb is a first-person singular negative verb. It is defective for all other persons and numbers and can only be used in the negative sense.
====There's a reason for that apostrophe.====
The apostrophe is called a diacritic and is used to express the special pronunciation. Put stress on the /i/ in 'ioe. The apostrophe is also used to denote a shortened form (contraction) of the word veioe which means I see the truth. The contraction of the word changes the meaning
