1: διαλαλέω

(Strong's #1255 — Verb — dialaleo — dee-al-al-eh'-o )

signifies "to speak with anyone" (dia, "by turns," laleo, "to speak"), Luke 6:11; in Luke 1:65 , "to talk over, to noise abroad." The idea that laleo and its compounds bear no reference to the word spoken or the sentiment, is unfounded. See NOISE.

2: ὁμιλέω

(Strong's #3656 — Verb — homileo — hom-il-eh'-o )

from homos, "together," signifies "to be in company, to associate with any one;" hence, "to have intercourse with," Luke 24:14 (RV, "communed;" AV, "talked"), 15; Acts 24:26; in Acts 20:11 , "talked with." See TALK.

3: συλλαλέω

(Strong's #4814 — Verb — sullaleo — sool-lal-eh'-o )

"to talk together," is translated "communed" in Luke 22:4 , of the conspiracy of Judas with the chief priests. See CONFER , SPEAK , TALK.

Note: Laleo and its compounds, and the noun lalia, "speech," have a more dignified meaning in the Hellenistic Greek than "to chatter," its frequent meaning in earlier times.
