The interrogative apodosis pos gnosthesetai to laloumenon {πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον | pôs gnōsthḗ-se-tai tó la-loú-me-non} asks, “how will what is being spoken be known?”, with the neuter participle to laloumenon functioning substantivally as “the spoken content.”
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:9
So also you, through the tongue, if you do not give a clear word, how will what is spoken be known? For you will be speaking into the air .
