SIBI-P1 Translation G189-05
hearing
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); direct-object form of a first-declension feminine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ἀκούω (to hear) and denotes the act or faculty of hearing or that which is heard. The accusative feminine singular form does not alter the core lexical sense, so "hearing" preserves both the process and result nuances inherent in the root. |
