This noun's meaning is debated, but the most common interpretation is 'wings' in the collective sense. Jeremiah 48:9 contains the difficult phrase 'give wings to Moab,' which most scholars understand as a call for Moab to flee swiftly, as if on wings. The Aramaic cognate means wing or fin, supporting this interpretation. However, the Septuagint's 'markers' led some to suggest 'signpost,' and Perles proposed reading 'feathers.' The wing interpretation fits the flight imagery of the context.
