εἴρηκας
légō
you have said
To speak, to say, or to express verbally; principally denotes the act of articulating or communicating information, statements, or ideas, whether in direct discourse, reporting, or narration. Broader senses include expressing, declaring, making known, or recounting, with an emphasis often on the content, manner, or intent of what is expressed. Distinctions among Greek synonyms position λέγω as the general term for 'to say/tell' with a possible focus on orderly, intentional communication, as opposed to unstructured speech.
