I think you were tripped up because you were thinking in Hebrew. So it
was easier for a chutznik like myself. The word you were looking for
entered Aramaic (and view this pitgam, modern Hebrew) from Greek: signum
(Gr) -> signon (Ar).

Sanhedrin 89a (making your very point: medeq'amrei kulhu kehadaderi --
shema minah lo kelum qa'amrei):

    De'ama Rabbi Yitzchaq:
    Signon echad oleh lekamah nevi'im
    ve'ein sheni nevi'im misnbe'im besignon echad.

As an example, R Yitzchaq compares Ovadia 1:3 "zedon lib'kha hisiekha"
to Yirmiyahu 49:16 "hisi osakh zedon libekha". Both saying roughly the
same thing to Edom, but with different word order -- and thus emphasis.

Tir'u baTov!
