uttering
Producing with voice
Uttering is the act of speaking or producing sounds with the voice: without uttering a word, uttering a cry of pain.
In legal contexts, uttering refers specifically to presenting a forged document as genuine—uttering a forged check is a crime distinct from the forgery itself.
