a flea
|
|
"Parosh, (in Arabic borghooth, Syriac, poorthano, ) the well known little contemptible and troublesome insect, the flea, seems to be so called from its agility in leaping and skipping, from para, ""free,"" and raash, ""to leap, bound."" David, by comparing himself to this insect, seems to import, that while it would cost Saul much pains to catch him, he would obtain but very little advantage from it." |
|
a partridge
|
|
Korai certainly denotes the partridge, which is called in Arabic, kiräa. It seems to be so called from the cry or cur which it utters when calling its young. |
