mouthed
Spoke without voice
Mouthed is the past tense of mouth, meaning to form words with the lips without producing sound: She mouthed "I love you" across the crowded room.
It also describes speaking in an affected or insincere way: He mouthed platitudes about unity.
As a combining form, mouthed describes the kind of mouth something has: a wide-mouthed jar, a foul-mouthed comedian.
