Right on, Faldage.
There is a word "blatter" [derived from the same "blaterare" Latin root] which means pretty much the same thing as "deblaterate" [spelled with one "t"].
Dictionary.com blatter
\Blat"ter\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Blattered.] [L. blaterare to babble: cf. F. blat['e]rer to bleat.] To prate; to babble; to rail; to make a senseless noise; to patter. [Archaic] ``The rain blattered.'' --Jeffrey.
They procured . . . preachers to blatter against me, . . . so that they had place and time to belie me shamefully. --Latimer.
