7. Ah! But, Webster's 1913 dictionary says...

1. A brief expression, sometimes a single word, but usually
two or more words forming an expression by themselves, or
being a portion of a sentence; as, an adverbial phrase.

``Convey'' the wise it call. ``Steal!'' foh! a fico
for the phrase. --Shak.

Note: "Sometimes a single word" part...
