tongues
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NFP,); functions as a subject or predicate nominative in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun γλῶσσα fundamentally denotes the physical tongue and, by extension, a language or mode of speech. The form γλῶσσαι is nominative feminine plural, so "tongues" preserves both the root sense and the plural subject form indicated by the morphology. |
