Root of the דאה dâʼâh family (2 members).

A species of large bird of prey, likely referring to a type of kite or vulture, characterized by its soaring or gliding flight. Used as an unclean bird in the Israelite dietary code. The word is applied to certain carrion-eating birds noted for their distinctive circling flight patterns, frequently associated with desolation or wilderness settings. The precise ornithological identification is uncertain, but the term denotes a raptor, possibly of genus Milvus (kite) or Gyps (vulture), depending on local fauna at the time.
