164 A GLOSSARY OF GREEK BIRDS 



IXOINIAOZ {continued^. 



as a small bird, smaller than a thrush, which moves its tail and 

 frequents rivers and ponds. 



The identification hangs by that of Kt'-y/cXos and Tri'yapyos-, q.v. Of the 

 three bird-names, not one is to be identified with any certainty; I am 

 somewhat inclined to interpret -nvyapyos^ the largest of the three, as 

 a Sandpiper, and to suppose the other two to be both Wagtails ; at any 

 rate, (rxpiv'CKo^, in its derivation, rather suggests a Wagtail than a Sand- 

 piper. The same bird appears elsewhere under such names as KiWovpos, 

 (Tfia-ovpn, aeicroTTvyis ; vide also s.v. crKoKiSpis. The identification with the 

 Reed Bunting, Eniberiza schoe?itclus, adopted by Turner, Gaza, &c., &c., 

 is based purely on the derivation of the word, and is contradicted 

 by the fact that the Reed Bunting does not flick its tail as the 

 others do.
