- τέρας téras · G5059 · portent, sign
- While τέρας denotes a prodigy or portent (emphasizing its function as a sign), θαυμάσιος describes the wondrous or marvelous quality of extraordinary events. Both refer to supernatural or remarkable phenomena, though θαυμάσιος is attested only once in the New Testament corpus, limiting verification of full interchangeability across registers.
