I was referring to 1 Tim 2:12 not having an article, later text does as Cheryl points out, but it is always a question on how one puts the pieces together.  I agree that Cheryl’s insight on those later verses is the best “fit” I know.

On 1 or many in 1 Tim 2:12, gune/woman might be specific (egal) or generic (non-egal).  It is underdetermined when considered by itself.
