Mark 1:26


Footnote:

4

The verb φωνέω phóneó, meaning "to make a sound," is used to describe the crowing of a rooster. While φωνέω has broad applications, including human and animal sounds, Greek does not have a distinct verb solely for "to crow." It is derived from φωνή phóné meaning "voice" or "sound." The closest would be κικκαβαῦ, "onomatop., a cry in imitation of the screechowlʼs note, toowhit, toowhoo, Ar." (cf. Middell Liddel κικκαβαῦ)
