Whisperer, Whispering

"a whisperer," occurs in an evil sense in Rom 1:29.

"a whispering," is used of "secret slander" in 2Co 12:20. In the Sept., Ecc 10:11, of "a murmured enchantment."

Note: Synonymous with No. 1 is katalalos, "a backbiter" (Rom 1:30), the distinction being that this denotes one guilty of open calumny, psithuristes, one who does it clandestinely.
