Discussion
Lit.: “jackal bird”. In CDA 109, the animal was interpreted as a “vulture” based on the lexical equation with zību II. However, this correspondence could also refer to the fact that both terms refer to birds of prey. It therefore remains uncertain whether the term should be translated as “vulture”.
