| Root | Ἰκόνιον (Ikónion) |
| Core Meanings | Iconium, image-place, place associated with an image or likeness |
| Semantic Range | A city in Asia Minor (Lycaonia/Phrygia region); possibly etymologically linked to the concept of image or likeness, though primarily used as a geographical designation. |

| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANS — Noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number; proper place name functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ἰκόνιον is a proper noun, accusative neuter singular, functioning as the direct object in its occurrences. The rendering preserves the place name while transparently reflecting its likely derivation from εἰκών (image, likeness) by glossing it as "the image-place," maintaining both lexical connection and singular direct-object form. |
