a.na.phah denotes a bird named within lists alongside the stork, hoopoe, and bat.

The term is used consistently as the name of a bird in parallel list contexts, placed between the stork and the hoopoe; the APB presents that bird as “the heron” in both verses.

   In Deuteronomy 14:18 and Leviticus 11:19, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a sequence naming the stork, this bird, the hoopoe, and the bat. In Deuteronomy 14:18 the APB renders the sequence “the stork, the heron of its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat,” while Leviticus 11:19 similarly renders “the stork, the heron according to its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both cited verses, the APB presents the bird in the list as “the heron,” followed by a phrase about its kind. That wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every element of the Hebrew term.
