Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Alloqui · Appellare · Affari
Alloqui denotes accosting, as addressing the first word, a salutation, and so forth, to a person with whom one is not unacquainted; appellare (from an old Gothic substantive, spellan), when one wishes to draw a person into conversation, and direct to him serious, or, at any rate, not insignificant words; affari denotes addressing from the impulse of a feeling; through peculiar friendliness or with solemnity. Cic. Cluent. 61. Quum nemo recipere tecto, nemo audire, nemo alloqui, nemo respicere vellet: compare with Phil. xiii. 2. Salutabunt benigne, comiter appellabunt unumquemque nostrum; and Brut. 3. Salutatio libri, quo me hic affatus quasi jacentem excitavit. (v. 107.)
Nominare · Nuncupare · Vocare · Appellare
Nominare and nuncupare mean, to call anybody by his name; nominare, to call him by the name which he already possesses; nuncupare, to give a name to an object that has hitherto been without a name; whereas appellare and vocare mean to designate a person by any name, title, or appellation belonging to him. (v. 105.)
