of the uttered-sound

Rootφωνή (phōnē)
Core Meaningssound, voice, tone, utterance, audible expression, proclamation
Semantic Rangeaudible sound, spoken voice, noise, proclamation, call, language, articulated speech, divine utterance
Conceptual Significanceφωνή frequently marks moments of revelation—human speech, prophetic proclamation, or the audible voice of God from heaven. It signifies sound as a vehicle of disclosure, aligning with its conceptual link to manifestation or making something known.
Morphological NotesNoun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, description, or association: "of the voice/sound."
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "uttered-sound" preserves the core idea of φωνή as an audible manifestation or expressed sound, whether human, animal, or instrumental. The genitive singular form is reflected by "of," and the singular sense of a specific voice or sound is maintained.
