SIBI-P1 G2980-44
the speaking ones
| Root | λαλέω (laleō) |
| Core Meanings | to speak, to talk, to utter sounds, to voice words, to express verbally |
| Semantic Range | to speak, talk, utter, proclaim, preach, converse, express oneself verbally, make a sound with words |
| Conceptual Significance | λαλέω often emphasizes the act of verbal expression itself, sometimes highlighting the simple or direct act of speaking rather than the content (contrast with λέγω). In the biblical text it can denote proclamation, testimony, inspired speech, or ordinary conversation, marking those identified by their active verbal witness or communication. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Present Active Participle, Nominative Masculine Plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP). Functions substantivally to describe masculine subjects characterized by ongoing speech. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine plural form denotes ongoing verbal action performed by a group of masculine subjects. "The speaking ones" preserves the durative present sense (ongoing speech), the active voice (they are doing the speaking), and the nominative masculine plural function as substantive participles. |
