spoken word
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS); functioning as a singular subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Spoken word" preserves the root sense from λέγω (to speak) and reflects the nominative masculine singular form as a single subject noun without contextual expansion. It keeps the core idea of articulated expression central to λόγος. |
