If one skipped only a single word (rather than a full verse), where does one return to?

There is a dispute whether skipping a single word requires returning only to that word (if it begins a new phrase) or always to the beginning of the verse. The Eliya Rabbah sides with returning to the beginning of the verse based on earlier authorities.
