SIBI-P1 Translation G2279-03
of sound
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS); denotes relation or source in genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular neuter form denotes possession or relation, thus "of sound." This preserves the root sense of audible resonance from ἠχ- without adding contextual nuance. |

sound
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | The core meaning is 'sound,' and it fits the contextual enumeration of disturbances. 'Roaring' would add interpretation; 'sound' is correct and matches P1 and SILEX. |
