‏ Romans 10:18

 Did they not hear? ( μη ουκ ηκουσαν? ). Rather, "Did they fail to hear?" (expecting the negative answer  μη, while  ουκ blends with the verb). See on 1Co 9:5 for this construction.

 Yea, verily ( μενουνγε ). Triple particle ( μεν, ουν, γε ) as in 9:20.

 Sound ( φθογγος ). Vibration of a musical string. See on 1Co 14:7. Only two N.T. examples.

 The world ( της οικουμενης ). The inhabited earth as in Lu 2:1.
