Commune

signifies "to speak with anyone" (dia, "by turns," laleo, "to speak"), Luk 6:11; in Luk 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.

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

"to talk together," is translated "communed" in Luk 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.
