English renderings
unshared; without a partner

Meaning

Nature is common to all but herself unshared at X.9. The proximity of κοινή and ἀκοινώνητος creates a deliberate tension: all participate in her, yet she does not simply become one participant among others. “Universal” alone would lose the second half of this description.
