φωνέω (fōnέō) — to call / to summon / to cry out

Notes: It is possible that φωνέω[a] differs from καλέω[c] in focusing somewhat more upon the loudness of voice, but this cannot be determined from existing contexts.; It is possible that ἀναφωνέω implies somewhat greater volume of sound than φωνέω[b] and that ἐπιφωνέω focuses more upon the content or upon the person or persons to whom a message is directed, but these distinctions cannot be readily determined on the basis of available contexts.; It is possible that παρακαλέω[b] differs somewhat in meaning from καλέω[e] and φωνέω[d] in implying some greater degree of urging.

Sense 3: to call, to name

Semantic entry: 33.131

Semantic domains: Communication

Subdomains: Name

Definition: to use an attribution in speaking of a person

Notes: It is not always possible to determine from the context whether the act involved is an initial naming of a person or simply calling a person by a particular name. Likewise in the case of attributions or titles, it is not always possible to determine whether it is a matter of giving an attribution or title to a person or simply a matter of speaking of or to a person by means of such an attribution or title. In some instances the giving of a title may be made indirect. For example, in OET MAT 1:23 the statement ‘and they will call his name Emmanuel’ suggests the giving of a title, but the process is stated in terms of how people will speak of this person.
