(figuratively) to be calm (as quiet water) {differs from G2974 which means both dumb and/or deaf} [from siope (silence, i.e. a hush; properly, muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak, and thus differing from G4602, which is rather a voluntary refusal or indisposition to speak, although the terms are often used synonymously)] KJV: dumb, (hold) peace Compare: G4602, G2974
