1. bird of prey, raptor — Masculine noun (עַיִט) denoting a bird of prey or raptor, used both collectively (birds of prey descending on carcasses, Gen 15:11) and individually (the ravenous bird from the east as a metaphor for Cyrus, Isa 46:11). Multilingual evidence is consistent across both clusters: eng 'the-birds-of-prey / bird-of-prey', spa 'las-aves-de-rapina / ave-de-rapina', hin 'शिकारी-पक्षी / शिकारी-पक्षी-को', arb 'الجوارح / لـ-جوارح', kor '새라 / 맹금이', swa 'ndege-wa-mawindo / ndege-wa-kuwinda'. The two clusters differ only in grammatical inflection (article vs. preposition), not in lexical meaning. 8×
