SIBI-P1 Translation G5456-06
of a sound
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS): denotes possession, source, or relation; rendered with "of." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form requires an English rendering with "of." "Sound" reflects the broad root sense of φων- as any audible utterance, whether human, animal, or inanimate, preserving the full semantic range rather than narrowing it to articulated speech. |
