to emit a sound; to speak, Acts 4:18; 2 Pet. 2:16, 18*

Acts 4:18	So they called them and ordered them not to speak (phthengesthai \| φθέγγεσθαι \| pres mid inf ) or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
2 Peter 2:16	But he was rebuked for his own transgression — a dumb donkey, speaking (phthenxamenon \| φθεγξάμενον \| aor mid ptcp nom sg neut) with the voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.
2 Peter 2:18	For by (phthengomenoi \| φθεγγόμενοι \| pres mid ptcp nom pl masc) speaking (phthengomenoi \| φθεγγόμενοι \| pres mid ptcp nom pl masc) pompous words (phthengomenoi \| φθεγγόμενοι \| pres mid ptcp nom pl masc) of vanity, they entice, by lusts of the flesh and debauchery, those who are just escaping from those who are living in error.
