What does "knowing with" here mean?
“Hoooodor,” said Hodor, swaying. “Hooooooodor, hoooooodor, hoDOR, hoDOR, hoDOR.” Sometimes he liked to do this, just saying his name different ways, over and over and over. Other times, he would stay so quiet you forgot he was there. There was never any knowing with Hodor. “HODOR, HODOR, HODOR!” he shouted. (Game of Thrones)

Hi. What does "knowing with" here mean? "knowing about"?

Answer

For me, it means that he wasn't predictable. You wouldn't know what he would do next, or why he did what he just did.

Answer

It means 'that what ever hodor says, you couldn't know what he means'

Answer

It's a generic 'knowing'. Knowing what he would do next. Knowing what he was thinking...
It's not 'knowing with' as a phrase though. It's a similar construct to 'there was never any reasoning with Donald'.
