Bochart, Hieroz. ii. 337, suggests (not for the first time, for the state- 

 ment is made in early Hebrew dictionaries) a connexion with Hebr. HS3N 

 anaphah, which he supposed to be a species of eagle, partly perhaps 

 to make it fit in with the interpretation, common in his time, of dvonala. 

 But according to Lewysohn (Zool. d. Talmuds, p. 109), with whom 

 Tristram agrees, anaphah is rightly translated Heron (Lev. xi. 19), 

 which seems to me to lend support to the hypothesis that dvonala 

 is identical with it. Cf. epaoios, II. x. 274.

AHOYI. A bird of the swallow kind. Probably including the Swift, 

 Cypselus apus, L., and Hirundo rupestris, Scop., the Cliff 

 Martin; Mod. Gk. Trerpo^eXiSow. Also for KityeAoy, the Sand 

 Martin.

The name is traditionally identified with the Swift, Cypselus apus^ 

 L. As regards the former passage (which is doubtfully authentic) 

 it appears that H. rupestris is the only bird of the Swallow kind 

 which is a permanent resident in Greece (Kriiper p. 255, &c.), though 

 Erhard (p. 46) says that Swifts winter in the Cyclades. The second 

 passage is corrupt, and contains two different accounts of the nest 

 (cf. Sundevall p. 130). H. rupestris builds solitarily, on the face of 

 high cliffs (VTTO TreTpais) (Kriiper, 1. c.). The other account (cv Kv^e\io-iv 

 pa<pals) seems to refer to the Sand Martin, vide s.v. Kuij/eXos. Sundevall
