| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS — Noun, accusative case, feminine gender, singular number. Functions typically as a direct object or object of certain prepositions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "a voiced sound" preserves the root idea of φωνή as an audible expression or articulated tone, whether human, animal, or instrumental. The form is accusative feminine singular (AFS), indicating a single direct object that is grammatically feminine; the English phrase reflects singularity while the accusative function is implied by its role as an object in context. |
