he/she/it voices forth
| Root | φωνέω (phōneō) |
| Core Meanings | to sound, to voice, to utter audibly, to call out, to cry aloud |
| Semantic Range | to emit a sound (human, animal, instrument), to cry out, to call aloud, to summon, to name, to proclaim audibly |
| Conceptual Significance | φωνέω emphasizes audible expression—whether divine proclamation, prophetic crying out, animal sound, or public summons. In biblical contexts, it often marks decisive moments of revelation, recognition, warning, or authority expressed through voiced sound. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,V,IPA3,,S = verb, present tense (ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. One attested form is Gr,V,MPA2,,S = present middle/passive indicative, 2nd person singular ("you voice for yourself" or "you are voiced"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is present active indicative, third person singular (IPA3), indicating an ongoing or characteristic action performed by a singular subject. "Voices forth" preserves the connection to φωνή ("sound, voice") and reflects the active, present-tense sense of emitting an audible sound or call. |
