STAMMERER

stam'-er-er: Isaiah 32:4, `illegh, "inarticulate speaking." In Isaiah 28:11; 33:19, l`g (pointing uncertain) is rendered "strange" by the Revised Version (British and American), with "stammering" in the King James Version, the Revised Version margin. Probably the word means both, as primitive people always think that their own language alone is clearly pronounced. Or the word may mean "mocking."
