SIBI-P1 G5456-04
the voice-sound
| Root | φωνή (phōnē) |
| Core Meanings | sound, voice, tone, utterance, audible expression |
| Semantic Range | audible sound, human voice, animal cry, noise, spoken message, proclamation, language, divine utterance |
| Conceptual Significance | φωνή often marks moments of revelation—whether the voice of God from heaven, the cry of a prophet, or a heavenly proclamation. It signifies not merely sound, but disclosed presence and authority conveyed through audible expression. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine singular; attested here in nominative singular (NFS) and dative singular (DFS). As a first-declension feminine noun, it functions as subject in the nominative and as indirect object, means, or location in the dative. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Voice-sound" preserves the root sense of an audible manifestation or disclosure, reflecting the idea of something made known by sound. The form represented is feminine singular nominative (and in some occurrences dative singular), so the rendering treats it as a singular, concrete entity—"the voice-sound"—which can function as subject (nominative) or as indirect object/means when in the dative. |
