[B-Greek] Difference between OUDEIS and MHDEIS?

Greetings all,

As a beginning student of Koine Greek, please forgive what will surely be a
simple question.  I'm currently in Ch. 12 of Mounce's BBG, and I noticed in
the vocabulary list that MHDEIS has almost the exact same "definition" as
OUDEIS from Ch. 10  (no one/thing).  I've been thinking about the
similarity, and I'm wondering if the relationship between OUDEIS and MHDEIS
is similar to the relationship between OUK and MH; specifically that a
question beginning with OUK expects a positive answer while a question
beginning with MH expects a negative answer.

Thank you for your time,

Matthew
