| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS): indicating indirect object, instrument, or sphere. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative feminine singular form γλώσσῃ is rendered with an English prepositional phrase to reflect the dative case. "Tongue" preserves the core root meaning, which can denote the physical organ or, by extension, a language or mode of speech. |
