#04623

σιωπάω

siōpáō

Sounds like see•o•pah'•o

To be dumb (but not deaf also, like 2974 properly); figuratively, to be calm (as quiet water).

Derived from (silence, i.e. a hush; properly, muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak; and thus differing from #04602 (σιγή / sigḗ), which is rather a voluntary refusal or indisposition to speak, although the terms are often used synonymously).
